"You have Elliott Anderson and Declan Rice that are probably going to start at the minute, and then where do you go after that? Wharton will probably go, but outside of that, there is no one in better form in midfield than Mainoo at Man United. He has come back into the team and look how Man United are performing now."
"It is great that [Mainoo] is back on the pitch. He is such a huge talent. He has played already a tournament from start to finish for England, so he is back in the picture, so is Luke Shaw and so is Harry [Maguire]. There are some players suddenly back in the picture, they play a back four now and play with a different style."
Mainoo has potential to return to England's international squad following his recent reintegration into Manchester United's midfield. Michael Owen notes that with Elliott Anderson and Declan Rice likely starting, Mainoo represents the best available midfield option in current form. Manager Tuchel acknowledges Mainoo's exceptional talent and tournament experience, indicating he remains in contention alongside teammates Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw. England's upcoming friendly matches against Uruguay and Japan in late March provide opportunities for squad selection. Tuchel emphasizes that Mainoo's return to regular club football, combined with Manchester United's improved confidence and performance, positions him favorably for international recall.
