Kobbie Mainoo's highlights from his full England debut have emerged online and they show that he must be on the plane for the Euros.

Mainoo has been fast-tracked into the senior squad after a series of impressive displays for Manchester United.

The 18-year-old made his debut against Brazil on Saturday and produced a fine cameo that left fans wanting more.

He was rewarded with his first start against Belgium on Tuesday night at Wembley and grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

Mainoo looked completely at home in the middle of the park alongside Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham.

He lasted 74 minutes and conjured up a performance where he was so composed with the ball at his feet.

His moment of magic in the build-up to the penalty which led to England's first goal, where he skipped past challenges aplenty and found Bellingham in the pocket, epitomised his outing.

Youri Tielemans, scorer of a brace, anticipated Mainoo would pass the ball square before his insane burst.

Mainoo was not overawed in the slightest and nearly got on the scoresheet, having been denied by Mats Selz from close range in the second half.

He was also tenacious in the tackle and worked tirelessly to win the ball back.

The Stockport youngster is a breath of fresh air and Gareth Southgate is already loving having him at his disposal.

Speaking in a press conference, Southgate said: "He [Mainoo] seems very calm. "Definitely you can see he is taking everything in. Talking to him tactically, he seems able to take all those concepts on.

“There are a lot of steps being taken in a very short period of time but you saw in the brief cameo the other day some of the qualities he has.

“I think also sometimes, with the really young ones, they are not even thinking about that. It is all flowing and maybe then as you get a bit older you start to think about it a bit more."
