The worlds of football and YouTube have collided these past few days with prominent Manchester United 'fan personality' Mark Goldbridge coming under fire from supporters.
Kobbie Mainoo's Manchester United form has answered England question

Manchester United fan favourite Dimitar Berbatov is now open to the idea of including youngster Kobbie Mainoo in the England squad for this summer's European Championship.

"My opinion has not changed; we shouldn't overhype young players that are playing well for their club, but at the same time, if he continues his form, then it won't be a bad idea to include him in the 23-man squad.
"If Gareth Southgate has other ideas and he's not pressured by public opinion despite seeing the quality in Mainoo, maybe he will take him for the experience, but in his mind it's too early to include him in the team. It might be beneficial just to soak in all the experience, to be around other
