📊 Kobbie Mainoo tops EURO 2024 rankings in one impressive stat | OneFootball

Kobbie Mainoo's meteoric rise from young talent to Manchester United and England stalwart has been one of the stories of the season, with the teenager having claimed man of the match in the Red Devils' FA Cup win over Manchester City and now having become first choice midfield partner for Declan Rice in an England shirt.

Mainoo's introduction to the side, after failed experiments with Conor Gallagher and Trent Alexander-Arnold, has seen the Three Lions advance to the last four of EURO 2024.

And his security on the ball has been a key factor in that. As per data site Opta, the midfielder has the best passing accuracy of any midfielder not just at this summer's tournament, but of any European Championship since 1980, with the Manchester man having completed 96% of his 138 passes in an England shirt this summer.

However, there were some that pointed out the safe route that the youngster tends to take with his passes, either by instruction or instinct, which certainly helps bolster his numbers.

Despite this, his newfound importance to Gareth Southgate's side cannot be disputed, and if England are to reach the final of EURO 2024, he will need to be at his best against Netherlands.
