Manchester United<\/a> star Kobbie Mainoo<\/a> is enjoying a fairytale breakout season<\/a> with the Premier League<\/a> giants this term.<\/p>\n

Such has been his performances for Erik ten Hag\u2019s men this campaign, the 18 year-old midfielder was called up to the England senior squad<\/a> on Tuesday after a sensational U-turn by Gareth Southgate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And given the sheer publicity that Mainoo\u2019s inclusion in England\u2019s squad for the upcoming friendlies against Brazil<\/a> and Belgium has generated, fans are only starting to realise that he actually has a famous sibling.<\/p>\n

Mainoo\u2019s brother, Jordan Mainoo-Hames, appeared as a contestant on Love Island in 2019.<\/p>\n

The penny only dropped when an old tweet from Jordan was uncovered by eagle-eyed fans.<\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter when Mainoo made his Manchester United debut for the Under-18s three years ago, Jordan said: \u2018Proud big bro moment [for real].\u2019<\/p>\n

The 28 year-old entered the Mallorca villa as a bombshell during the third week of the hit ITV show.<\/p>\n

Jordan started a relationship with fellow contestant Anna Vakili, but their union was short lived when he made a play instead for India Reynolds.<\/p>\n

That seemingly didn\u2019t go down too well with the viewers either, as Jordan was soon booted off the show via the public vote.<\/p>\n

Not that Jordan has any regrets from how it all panned out, with the former Love Islander insisting that he wouldn\u2019t change anything about his time on the show.<\/p>\n

\u2018Me and Anna got on really well, she\u2019s a beautiful girl. She\u2019s got a lot of things I love in a girl but when someone else came in, it made me sit back and think that I could have something missing with Anna,\u2019 Jordan told Heatworld<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

\u2018I have zero regrets whatsoever. Ever since I walked into the villa, I was attracted to Anna from the start and throughout the whole process and when I made her my girlfriend, it was because all the signs were there for me to make her my girlfriend.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve still got feelings for her, she\u2019s a great girl and she is beautiful. I just had this feeling which made me sit back and think something was missing, I just felt like I had to voice it. Everything I have done has been based on the way I was feeling. In that environment, your emotions can change quite quickly.\u2019<\/p>\n

Since leaving Love Island, Jordan has entered into the world of fashion, working with the likes of Vogue and Louis Vuitton.<\/p>\n

Jordan, who along with Mainoo heralds from Manchester, is now in a relationship with model Millie Hannah.<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s younger brother has made 23 appearances for United in all competitions this season and has now cemented himself as one of the first names on Ten Hag\u2019s teamsheet.<\/p>\n

Mainoo\u2019s stellar performance in United\u2019s dramatic 4-3 win over Liverpool<\/a> at the weekend only added to the avalanche of calls for Mainoo to be handed a spot in the Three Lions\u2019 senior squad.<\/p>\n

Mainoo has represented England at every level up to the Under-21s, and an impressive showing in either of the upcoming friendly games will only serve to boost his chances of being included in the final 23-man squad for Euro 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n
