Kobbie Mainoo, a Manchester United midfielder who recently received his first call-up to the senior England squad, expressed his admiration for Manchester City player John Stones. Mainoo praised Stones for being “smooth” and highlighted the defender’s impressive performances on the pitch. Stones, who joined City in 2016 for over £47m, has played a key role in the team’s success, making 251 appearances and contributing 16 goals and six assists.

Stones’ versatility was evident in the Champions League final where he successfully completed seven dribbles while playing in a midfield role, showcasing his ball-handling skills. Mainoo’s admiration for Stones suggests that he sees the 29-year-old as a role model and someone to learn from during his time with the England squad. Stones’ impact on City’s success and his potential role in the upcoming European Championship could make him a key player for both club and country.

As Mainoo trains and shares the dressing room with Stones, he is likely to benefit from the experience and learn from the seasoned defender. Stones’ ability to make everything look easy on the pitch serves as inspiration for young players like Mainoo who aspire to reach greater heights in their careers. With Stones playing a crucial role in City’s quest for titles and his significance in the England team, it is evident that Mainoo sees him as a player worth admiring and emulating.
