Kobbie Mainoo says he has experienced 'whirlwind of emotions' since England call-up

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo says he is targeting a place in England's Euro 2024 squad after a "mad couple of days".

Mainoo, 18, was originally named in the under-21s squad but has been promoted to Gareth Southgate's senior side for friendlies against Brazil on Saturday and Belgium on 26 March at Wembley.

"I was shocked and happy," Mainoo told BBC Radio 5 Live's John Murray.

"It's been a whirlwind of emotions, a pretty mad couple of days."

Mainoo, who was brought up in Stockport, only made his first Premier League start in November but has since become a regular under United boss Erik ten Hag.
