Manchester United's midfielder Manuel Mauno has been in the spotlight and his popularity has soared after he showed bravery in stoppage time in an English Premier League match, scoring a spectacular strike to help United turn the tables on Wolverhampton Wanderers. According to the Times, the Ghana FA has sent its staff to actively pursue the English-born 18-year-old talent to "change flags" and join the Ghana national team, a move that could deprive English soccer of one of its future stars.
Man'o, whose parents are both Ghanaian, was born in Stourport, England, and therefore has the right to choose to represent either the England or Ghana national teams. Despite having represented England at U17, U18 and U19 level, Man'o has not yet been promoted to the adult national team. It is reported that England manager, Thufty, met with Man'o at the end of last year and expressed his desire for him to join the England national team, the Three Lions, but Thufty did not commit to calling him up to the national team.
