Mainoo has also registered two assists during that time.In FourFourTwo's opinion, Mainoo's recall is only good news for England. The Manchester United youngster is a very talented player who many deemed to have been unfairly overlooked by Amorim and is clearly in-form at present.Players with prior international experience, particularly of the latter stages of major international tournaments, who are coming into form as the season reaches a climax is a huge positive as theoretically Mainoo will carry his recent displays for Manchester United into his outings with England at the World Cup, should he make the squad.TOPICSEnglandManchester UnitedWorld CupJoe DonnohueSocial Links NavigationSenior Digital WriterJoe joined FourFourTwo as senior digital writer in July 2025 after five years covering Leeds United in the Championship and Premier League.
