Man United starlet hands Southgate selection headache as key stat emerges

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo came off the bench in England’s two European Championship group-stage matches against Serbia and Slovenia to give them more control.

The 19-year-old proved his mettle and cemented his place in the starting line-up with a sensational display against Slovakia as England stuttered into the quarter-final.

He became the third youngest player to start for England in a knockout round game at a major tournament but looked years above his age.
