Maguire believes Man Utd have found next Bellingham and he's already at the club

Harry Maguire believes that England has another talent like Jude Bellingham in their midst, referring to 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo.

Maguire, who has been a mentor figure to Mainoo at Manchester United, sees the young midfielder as ready for international duty. Photos of Maguire and Mainoo together highlight the bond they share, with Maguire taking Mainoo under his wing.

Mainoo has impressed at United, earning his first Premier League start in November and making a significant impact since then. Maguire is convinced that Mainoo has what it takes to earn a spot in England’s squad for the upcoming Euros, potentially joining the ranks of Real Madrid star Bellingham.

And Maguire insists Mainoo is ready and will have no fear going into the tournament. “I don’t see why not,” said Maguire. “To play at a major tournament, obviously, it’s big to have experience but also the young boys do come in and sometimes they play with no fear and they can excel in that way.

‌”I don’t have any concerns whatsoever. It’s incredible he’s (only) 18, he’s so mature. He’s a bit like Jude was when he was a young boy. He’s got a mature head on his shoulders. I had no concerns. I see day in, day out his ability in training. He just wants to work hard and do well. I congratulated him, said he deserved it, keep it up, and make sure he enjoys himself.

‌”He’s got everything, he can handle the ball brilliantly. He’s really strong, powerful, and you can see the progression to play that role, especially for Manchester United.

‌”Listen, we have a lot of good centre-mids in this country at the moment, a lot of players who have been there and done it, and shown that they can do it in the big, major tournaments. He’ll keep working hard, I’m sure he will, because he’s a great lad. It’s exciting times for him and his family. We will see where it goes.”

Like Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford emerged as a teenage sensation at Manchester United ahead of a major tournament, the Euros in 2026.

Rashford’s rapid rise has seen him transition into a senior figure at United, where he, along with Maguire, is playing a mentorship role for Mainoo. They see nurturing young talents like Mainoo as a crucial aspect of their responsibilities at Old Trafford.

Maguire said: “I told him if he needs anything just to ask me, give me a text, about anything, schedule, he thoroughly deserves it. He has been excellent for us this season.‌

“A role and responsibility for the senior players at Manchester United is to bring through academy players. The club is always built on giving opportunities to young boys, we have numerous of them training with us a lot, we try and make them feel welcome.

“And that’s a big role and responsibility of the senior players, and we have done that to Kobbie. It’s important he feels welcome, he feels comfortable, even coming into this group with England it is really important he feels welcome.”

David de Gea Sends Another Message to Erik ten Hag After Man Utd Sacking

Published

on

David de Gea continues to prove former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag wrong, earning the Man of the Match award in Fiorentina’s 1-0 win over Genoa.

Since signing with Fiorentina on a one-year contract over the summer, De Gea has shown he still has what it takes after spending 14 months away from professional football.

United released him in 2023 despite his Golden Glove win, choosing to replace him with Andre Onana to align with Ten Hag’s focus on ball-playing ability from the back.

At the time of his departure, De Gea had reportedly agreed to a contract extension before United withdrew the offer.

Following Ten Hag’s sacking this week, De Gea shared his reaction with a simple “pinched fingers” emoji, a symbol often used in Italy to convey frustration or disbelief.

In Thursday’s match, the 33-year-old delivered several critical saves, securing a clean sheet and lifting Fiorentina to fourth in Serie A.

Fiorentina manager Raffaele Palladino praised the victory: “It was a hard-fought, gritty win in a challenging environment. These types of victories build character and give us confidence.”

Palladino has previously described De Gea as “world-class,” applauding him for saving two penalties in Fiorentina’s 2-1 win over AC Milan earlier this month.

“He’s a true champion and role model,” Palladino said. “Every day, we’re grateful to have such a top goalkeeper.”
