This is according to Matt Hughes who reported this development for British media outlet Daily Mail in the wake of heavy interest for the Manchester United starlet.
However, Hughes reports that the 18 year old Mainoo won’t make a decision until he is in serious contention to play “competitive caps”.
Mainoo is eligible to play for Ghana through his parents and the Stockport-born player is eligible to play for England despite playing for England’s Under 17 and Under 19 sides.
Mainoo scored his debut goal for Man United at the senior level in a 4-2 FA Cup win over Newport County and followed it up with a brilliant winner in a 4-3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
