Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo of Manchester United were the losers in the Euro 2024 final against England.

In the 2024 European Championship final, Mikel Oyarazabal scored a late goal to give Spain a 2-1 victory over England.

As a result, Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo of Manchester United were forced to settle for second place instead of winning medals.

Mainoo participated in every knockout round and played for over an hour, while Shaw overcame an injury to play the full ninety minutes in the championship match.

Kobbie Mainoo, devastated

It was painful to see Kobbie Mainoo at full time, looking disconsolate after witnessing his excitement upon winning the FA Cup.

At the final whistle, Mainoo stood up by himself by resting against the goalpost.

Mainoo picked up his runners-up medal, but he took it away in his hands instead of wearing it.

Manchester United’s statement

Following the loss, Manchester United sent a message to Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo.

“We are gutted for you lads—hold your heads up high, you have done your country and us proud,” the club wrote on X.

This was the appropriate note to hit. Supporters of Manchester United are particularly pleased with Kobbie Mainoo’s performance during the competition.

Despite being only 19 years old, he has already made a name for himself as an England starter, and he played a crucial role in the Three Lions’ success during the knockout stages, especially in the semifinal.

Luke Shaw performed admirably as well; Manchester United supporters have noted that Shaw is one of the world’s top left-backs when healthy.
