Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo is embracing a fresh look as he readies himself for the upcoming season following his notable stint at Euro 2024. The English-Ghanaian midfielder, who made headlines during the European Championships, has unveiled a new hairstyle upon his return to Manchester.
Mainoo, who garnered significant attention during the tournament, played a pivotal role in England’s midfield as they advanced to the Euro 2024 final. Despite a commendable performance, the Three Lions fell to Spain, who clinched their fourth European title.
During the tournament, Mainoo showcased his skills in a memorable match against Serbia on June 16, 2024. As he transitions back to club duties with Manchester United, the young talent was recently spotted sporting a new braided hairstyle, marking a departure from his previous look. This update has captured widespread attention on social media, where a video of his transformation has gone viral.
Anticipated to join Manchester United’s pre-season preparations next week, Mainoo is expected to be a key player for the Red Devils in the upcoming season. His breakthrough year in the 2023/24 season included scoring the decisive goal in the FA Cup final against Manchester City, further solidifying his reputation.
Despite the setback of England’s defeat in the Euro 2024 final, Mainoo remains optimistic. Reflecting on the experience, he shared his thoughts on Instagram: “Devastated to fall short but proud and grateful to compete in my first major international tournament for my country. We will be back.”
In related news, England’s managerial landscape has shifted with Gareth Southgate’s resignation, setting the stage for a new leadership as Mainoo resumes national team duties. Additionally, Mainoo’s pre-tournament impact was noted when he made history even before stepping onto the pitch during England’s Euro 2024 semi-final against the Netherlands.
