He'll be in the Euro squad. Said it after his first app. He just needs to stay fit. England really don't have a midfielder in his mould.can't be that far off an England call-up if he keeps his place
he's 8/1 currently, might be worth a puntHe'll be in the Euro squad. Said it after his first app. He just needs to stay fit. England really don't have a midfielder in his mould.
Fabregas never had a world class season, but he was world class across his career. One of those players that was of the wrong era. For me, he’s up there with Silva and KdB in ability, but existed in this weird period in time where what he had, wasn’t what teams wanted, at the time he played there.Tbh...Wilshere. And neither of them is a patch on Fabregas at the same age. And both Wilshere and Fabregas never got to be world class for me. Could argue Pedri might be on that same path too.
Xavi and Busquets would be a start, but unfortunately we've got Bruno and McTominay.He's mint. Question is, what midfielder(s) should he optimally be paired with?
That's easy money imo. Only thing stopping it would be an injury.he's 8/1 currently, might be worth a punt
What now?Fabregas never had a world class season, but he was world class across his career.
Yeah maybe a bit OTT. I guess I mean he was never the best of all of him all at once. I can’t point at any single season and see him at a club, under a manager that saw him utilised and see him utilise all of his ability.What now?
My thoughts precisely!Can’t believe he didn’t get MOTM tonight. Aside from a couple of sloppy passes, he was immense. Fair play lad.
After seeing teams snap up Bissouma, McAllister and Cacaido, the one guy who remains as an original and I've always thought as of extremely underrated is GroB. No idea why nobody ever went for him...Xavi and Busquets would be a start, but unfortunately we've got Bruno and McTominay.
In all seriousness, and in as much as people will probably attack me for saying as much but Bill Gilmour and Pascal Groß from Brighton would be good alongside him, and bring our midfield up a level. Maybe not to the level we need to go to to win things but it would be a start.
People afraid it will be another Schneiderlin case.After seeing teams snap up Bissouma, McAllister and Cacaido, the one guy who remains as an original and I've always thought as of extremely underrated is GroB. No idea why nobody ever went for him...
Agree with the first part but more importantly he looks like the best player on our team.We're playing Wigan FFS, let's not overegg it. He is performing very well though so far, enjoyable to see him impose himself more.
Add him to Rice and Bellingham and he’s exactly the cdm that’s currently missing from the England squad. And what a midfield 3 they’d make.He'll be in the Euro squad. Said it after his first app. He just needs to stay fit. England really don't have a midfielder in his mould.
Don’t think this post was posted based solely on his performance vs Wigan. Although it’s in games like this that you see who still performs.We're playing Wigan FFS, let's not overegg it. He is performing very well though so far, enjoyable to see him impose himself more.
Not sure about that. He picked up 11 MOTM awards in 2009/2010 and scored 15 goals, producing 15 assists in the PL alone.Fabregas never had a world class season, but he was world class across his career.
I really hope not, I'd rather he has a good break over the summer and comes back to United fresh.He'll be in the Euro squad. Said it after his first app. He just needs to stay fit. England really don't have a midfielder in his mould.
The main thing stopping this happening is Gareth Southgate. Southgate won't take any risks on new players going into a tournament. I can see Mainoo getting a look in the September internationals but until the tournament proper, you're going to see all the same faces right up until it starts. Which is fair enough, it has worked for Gareth to an extent so far.That's easy money imo. Only thing stopping it would be an injury.
Mainoo-Rice-Bellingham is Englands best midfield.
I had that thought when I saw that live. The biggest thing that stood out there was the difference in effort both players put in to win the ball the moment McTominay hit the ball against Mainoo. It's unforgivable how the lesser talented player out of the two is also the one not working as hard.Tweet

McTominay maybe trying to injure Mainoo so he gets more playing time.Tweet

Jesus, that's frightening. It's coming home, lads!That's easy money imo. Only thing stopping it would be an injury.

/Remindmein2.5yearsJesus, that's frightening. It's coming home, lads!
His composure and positional discipline is outstanding for his age. We haven’t had a midfielder of this profile since probably Carrick. I hope he continues to develop.Definitely one of the most exciting academy players in recent memory. Has a level of composure way above almost any other player in our team.
I don't want to go too over the top as we've been burnt before but has a huge opportunity to become and England and United regular for years to come if he can keep it up.
We need more players like him and Garnacho in the team for sure.
The caf would surely be overwhelmingly in favour of Mainoo going to the Euros. He's our new darling.A poll on if he should go to the Euros would be interesting. Especially seeing opposition fans opinions. I just don't see a better partner for Rice and Bellingham right now.
Yes and no. You might stand out for that reason but its also the reason so many players struggle at United and you really have to be individually exceptional to stand out. Garnacho is a good example. He went through a phase of struggling partly because teams knew that he was our main threat so they doubled up on him or really focussed on him.He is the real deal but he is also playing in a team of mostly unmotivated players with poor work ethic. So his effort and composure will stand out significantly.
