Mainoo sets EURO record
In the four matches he's featured in so far, Mainoo has put on a masterclass in midfield control and precision.
His pass completion rate of 96% over a minimum of 200 minutes played is nothing short of staggering, setting a new benchmark for midfielders at major tournaments in over four decades.
)
But the numbers only tell half the story. Mainoo's ability to dictate the tempo of the game, to find pockets of space and thread delicate passes through the lines, has been a joy to behold.
He's not just racking up the stats – he's controlling the flow of the game, driving England forward with a maturity that belies his tender years.
The journey to this point hasn't been an easy one for Mainoo. Last season, he burst onto the scene at Manchester United, helping the Red Devils to FA Cup glory in a titanic clash with their city rivals.
But even then, the youngster had to bide his time, waiting patiently for his chance on the international stage.
)
When that chance finally came, Mainoo seized it with both hands. After being left on the bench for England's first three matches, the clamour from fans and pundits alike became too loud for Gareth Southgate to ignore.
The England boss finally relented, replacing Conor Gallagher with Mainoo in the midfield for the last-16 clash against Slovakia.
)
The move paid off handsomely, with Mainoo having impressed after coming on at halftime in the goalless draw.
His performance was so compelling that Southgate had no choice but to hand him his third international start, a decision that has been vindicated by the youngster's continued excellence.
Now, as England prepare to face the Netherlands in the semi-finals, all eyes will certainly be on Mainoo, the midfield maestro.
But can the Manchester United prodigy maintain his incredible form and guide the Three Lions to back-to-back European Championship finals? It's a tantalising prospect, one that has the football world captivated.
)
But Mainoo isn't fazed by the growing hype and attention. He knows that his feet are firmly planted on the ground and that there is still much work to be done.
For now, he's content to let his performances do the talking, to continue his quiet but steady ascent to the summit of the game.
Meanwhile, Manchester United unveiled their new kit for the 2024/25 season, with Mainoo at the front and centre of the promo.
The boy from Wythenshawe with Ghanaian heritage has well and truly arrived. The future is his for the taking, and the football world is watching with bated breath.
