Manchester United captain and Portuguese national, Bruno Fernandes, took the lead in congratulating his teammate Kobbie Mainoo after his remarkable debut for the England national team.
This came after Mainoo, a Manchester United midfielder got a late call-up to the England senior team ahead of their friendly clash against Brazil.
According to Metro UK, the Three Lions went on to suffer a 1-0 during the match that was played on Saturday, March 23, at Wembley Stadium.
Despite England coming up short against the Brazil national team, Mainoo, who came on as a sub in the 75th minute when he replaced Conor Gallagher put in an impressive show that attracted praise from several players.
