Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has his sights set on earning a place in England's Euro 2024 squad after a whirlwind of recent developments.

Initially named in the under-21s squad, the 18-year-old has received a promotion to Gareth Southgate's senior side for upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium at Wembley.

"I was shocked and happy," Mainoo told BBC Radio 5 Live's John Murray, reflecting on the unexpected call-up. "It's been a whirlwind of emotions, a pretty mad couple of days."

Mainoo, who hails from Stockport, made his first Premier League start in November and has since established himself as a regular under United boss Erik ten Hag.

Despite Ghana's interest, Mainoo has chosen to represent the Three Lions in their upcoming fixtures.

"I had to adapt quickly to the Premier League. Obviously, it's very demanding physically, and also mentally, so it's been tough," Mainoo explained. "But I feel like I've found my feet a bit now and I'm enjoying it."

With an eye on Euro 2024, Mainoo recognizes the importance of focusing on club football while also relishing the opportunity to represent England on the international stage. "I think that's the end goal for the season, to get into that squad," he said.

"But obviously I've got to focus on club football in the meantime, and hopefully that'll figure itself out."

Mainoo's journey from the youth ranks to the senior England squad highlights his rapid rise and promising future in football.
