HARRY MAGUIRE believes England have another Jude Bellingham on their hands.
Three Lions defender Maguire has enjoyed playing big brother to 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo at club level for Manchester United - and has no doubts he is ready to feature for his country.
There are plenty of pictures with Maguire standing alongside Mainoo after taking the teenager under his wing.
He now believes the young midfielder is ready to gatecrash the Euro 2024 squad.
Mainoo has been a revelation since making his first Premier League start in November.
And he can harbour realistic dreams of getting on the plane to Germany this summer, alongside Real Madrid superstar Bellingham.
Maguire insists Mainoo will have no fear going into the tournament, saying: "I don't see why. To play at a major tournament, it's big to have experience but also the young boys come in and sometimes they play with no fear - they can excel in that way.
"I don't have any concerns whatsoever.
"It's incredible he's only 18, he's so mature.
"He's a bit like Jude was when he was a young boy.
"He's got a mature head on his shoulders.
