(Reuters) -Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has received his first England senior call-up ahead of their two friendlies, the national team said on Tuesday, after the youngster's impressive run at the Premier League club.

The 18-year-old, who was initially part of the Under-21s squad for this month's U-21 Euro 2025 qualifiers, has been drafted into manager Gareth Southgate's team for matches at Wembley against Brazil on March 23 and Belgium on March 26.
