Koibbie Mainoo handed Manchester United boost ahead of next season

Kobbie Mainoo will be able to join up with the Manchester United squad for pre-season after England under-19s failed to qualify for this summer's European Championships.

Mainoo had been involved with the under-19 setup during the international break, featuring in all three of their qualifiers including 88 minutes in a 2-0 win over Turkey on Tuesday evening. The 17-year-old has been on the fringes of first-team action at United, making his debut in the Carabao Cup win over Charlton in January.

His involvement with England was expected to carry through to the summer and the 2023 European Championships in Malta this summer, however the Young Lions' failure to top their group - they finished one point behind Iceland - means they won't be involved in the eight-team finals.
