England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has acknowledged that he considered playing for Ghana but ultimately chose to pursue his dream of representing England.
Mainoo emerged as a breakout star in the English top flight last season, making 33 appearances in all competitions.
The 19-year-old also scored in the FA Cup final, where Manchester United defeated rivals Manchester City 2-1 to secure their second major trophy in two seasons under Dutch management.
Following his impressive performances, Mainoo earned a call-up to the England national team and played for Gareth Southgate’s side in their opening-day victory over Serbia at the 2024 European Championship.
