EPL: It’s incredible – Maguire names Man Utd midfielder who is ‘next Bellingham’

Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire has tipped Kobbie Mainoo to become England’s next Jude Bellingham.

Mainoo only made his Premier League debut for the Red Devils in November.

The 18-year-old has put in a couple of impressive performances since then and has been rewarded by a call-up to the Three Lions’ squad.

Maguire was asked if Mainoo is ready for the rigours of international football.

He replied: “I don’t see why not. To play at a major tournament, obviously, it’s big to have experience but also the young boys do come in and sometimes they play with no fear and they can excel in that way. I don’t have any concerns whatsoever.

“It’s incredible he’s (only) 18, he’s so mature. He’s a bit like Jude was when he was a young boy. He’s got a mature head on his shoulders. I had no concerns.”
