By the time the next euros come around he will probably be Englands best player.

Even Pool-friendly-Norwegian commentator is praising him. Basically saying he’s a real gem
So clear to see. Unfazed and so good. Yamal is getting a lot of praise but Mainoo is also super impressive amongst the younger players
I work in Stockport
Game has passed him by second half, Holland been a lot more compact.
He's made Rice look Championship-level next to him
What a performance in a Euro semi final. Just brilliant!
Doing us proud.
Fantastic performance. Needs to improve his fitness to last the full 90 but so composed. Probably our best player.
He was superb from 15-45 mins, the best on the pitch in that period, but dropped off in the second half, ended up with the fewest passes of any of the starting midfielders. On a purely selfish Utd front I am not sure this is great for Utd going into next season in fixing that issue, a decent rest then a hard pre season might be the better option for getting his stamina up, but he is proving his mentality and quality on the big stage.
Great stuff from him in the first half. He wasn’t as prominent in the second, and looked gassed.
Im genuinely concerned how we’re going to work on his fitness, given most players seems to say that happens in the pre season and he’s not going to have much of one if he wants a holiday.

Different gravy.
In control, and his psyche is zen.
Thank god he's ours!
Has completely outshone Rice for me in that midfield. Not that Rice has done bad but Mainoo has been that good with his ability to take the ball and turn.
Good first half not so good second half. Better than Rice
He's NOT going to the Euros
2nd half was a dead game where nothing happened apart from that moment from Watkins. Was brilliant in the 1st half though.
I can’t believe he’s ours.
For me he’s outshone Bellingham, Foden and Rice put together this tournament. Midfield maestro.

Different roles but Rice has stopped showing his quality on the ball as much for England.
They squeezed so much of the space in the middle that the positions he was required to pick up weren't easy for others to pick out but still worked his socks off getting into positions to shift the opposition
Well - he kind of already is
Absolutely bossed it in the first half. Had to pinch myself that he actually plays for us!
I work in Stockport
So 2 of the best were born in Stockport and another of the best works in Stockport ?
Special!
The real MOTM, insane performance on that stage
When he lands back in England hand him a 20 year contract and sign up his future kids as well.
Thank feck he is one of our own. Euro final, crazy.
Great first half, didn’t get the mentions or appreciation from the commentators. Wasn’t as effective in the 2nd but England as a whole weren’t either.
He is the real deal.
We all know what happened in his first final...
Outstanding first half. He was fairly anonymous 2nd half but that can be said of most, rubbish 2nd half
Man for the occasion
To think he only played meaningful minutes for our senior team in November 2023. What an amazing evolution!
The kid will need a good break after this tournament. It’s going to be a long season given he will be starting most games.
I can't imagine he'll have much game time in pre season before the community shield, I think we play our first pre season game in 8 days which is bonkers
I remember saying after 45 mins against Everton that he's so good he'll be undisputed starter for England by the end of Euros. Glad I was right.
Was his best performance overall, faded second half likely due to fatigue but his future for England and United should be as an 8.
His ability to pivot and move with Foden was fantastic, they have great chemistry which begs the question of United looking at someone like Neves being a potentially very impactful midfield pairing.
