Mainoo, a pivotal figure in Manchester United's 2022 FA Youth Cup triumph under Travis Binnion, has accumulated three senior appearances thus far, including a start in the Carabao Cup victory against Charlton Athletic at Old Trafford last January.

In terms of international representation, Mainoo holds the eligibility to choose between Ghana and England for his future endeavors.
