Kobbie Mainoo has made two substitute appearances since the start of Euro 2024 and made a significant impression in the second half against Slovenia, replacing Conor Gallagher.
British media confirmed that the 19-year-old MU player will be paired with Declan Rice in midfield by coach Southgate in the upcoming round of 16.
The appearance of Kobbie Mainoo will help the England midfield play more smoothly and flexibly, especially after receiving a lot of criticism through 3 group stage matches.
Southgate is criticized for being too conservative, not daring to change the personnel on the attack line, and will continue to put his faith in the trio Phil Foden - Harry Kane - Bukayo Saka.
That means Anthony Gordon, Cole Palmer and Jarrod Bowen have to wait for their chances from the bench.
Left-back Kieran Trippier's fitness is also a concern. The Newcastle player is currently suffering from a sore calf and has not trained fully in the last two days.
Ezri Konsa or Joe Gomez are ready to start if Trippier is absent. In the case of Luke Shaw, although he has trained normally, coach Southgate will find it difficult to take risks with the full-back who has not played a minute in 5 months.
Leading Group C with 5 points, but England only scored 2 goals and played a boring style of play, making viewers sleepy.
If they overcome Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen, the Three Lions will face either Italy or Switzerland in the quarter-finals.
