England's journey to the final of the Euro 2024 has seen many star performances, but Teddy Sheringham has singled out one player for his performances since coming into the side.
Having started as a squad player at the beginning of the tournament, Kobbie Manioo has stepped into the midfield birth and given Gareth Southgate's side the balance it needed in the middle.
His displays have been so impressive that when talking to Betideas, the former England striker compared the teenager to one of the Premier League's very best in that position.
“Kobbie Mainoo is so smooth for such a young player,” he said.
“You can tell he understands what it takes to play in midfield and the role you need to perform to excel there – like Rodri does for Manchester City. He knows how to keep the ball, which is his main objective when he’s on the pitch and very tough to do, particularly in big games like last night.
“So many players get it wrong when playing in midfield trying to find a difficult pass or taking too many touches, but it’s all about keeping the ball for your team and keeping things ticking over.
"Mainoo does that beautifully – he’s been brilliant for England and hopefully he can continue that form into Sunday.”
