Tuchel Unimpressed by Mainoo as Enzo Deletes England Post
England boss Thomas Tuchel reportedly grew frustrated with Kobbie Mainoo in training during the World Cup, while Argentina's Enzo Fernandez quietly deleted a social media post mocking England after the semi-final.
According to Sky Sports' Paper Talk, England manager Thomas Tuchel was left unimpressed by Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo during World Cup training sessions, with the player going unused throughout the tournament. The report adds another dimension to what has been a difficult few weeks for Mainoo on the international stage.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports also reports that Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez deleted a social media post that appeared to mock England following Argentina's semi-final victory over the Three Lions. The move suggests a degree of sensitivity around the result, given the high-profile nature of the rivalry.
Elsewhere in the same round-up, striker Marcus Rashford is said to have turned down a number of lucrative offers, keeping his immediate future unclear as the tournament nears its end.
