You can\u2019t believe his age really, that he\u2019s taking it all in his stride as he has.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe seems very mature, very calm, he knows he\u2019s making his way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re absolutely delighted with what he\u2019s done, first and foremost. We know some of the core parts of that, we know who has been able to play at that level, we know who our very best players are, and the rest we\u2019ve got a lot clearer picture of what people are capable of from the two games we\u2019ve played.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/01hszmws7c8haj1yz8pw.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Gareth Southgate, Kobbie Mainoo\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Mainoo impressed \/ Vince Mignott\/MB Media\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p>Speaking about what the future holds for Mainoo in the\u00a0England\u00a0set-up, Southgate admitted the\u00a0Man Utd\u00a0midfielder\u2019s form \u2018blew apart\u2019 the plans he has moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe\u2019re just going to see how people are when they come back into form, whether they can do that fitness-wise with their clubs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there\u2019s a lot of the season still to be played with his club. I had a plan on Saturday night for Tuesday that got blown apart in 12 hours so to have a plan for something in two-and-a-half months time, at the moment, is frankly ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything that we\u2019ve seen with his club, he reproduced in an England shirt which isn\u2019t always the case. Very calm, receives the ball so well under pressure, strong, so we are a little bit more open playing that way but the benefits with the ball were clear to see.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTalking to him tactically, he seems able to take all those concepts on. A lot of young players now, with their academy education, are able to do that. You can see his comfort with the ball and receiving in tight areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-1123-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-842911\"  \/><\/figure>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gareth Southgate has admitted Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s stunning breakthrough at Manchester United has changed England\u2019s plans moving forward.
