Mainoo, 20, was not selected by Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel for the World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia .
The national side first hosts Andorra at Villa Park on Saturday before travelling to the Rajko Mitic Stadium to face Serbia on September 9.
Mainoo however has featured in a video posted on Dodoo's Instagram story as he showed off his skills.
In the clip, he could be seen practising his ball juggling with impressive ease.
And United fans went wild as it was then shared on X for them to react too.
One posted: "Imagine #25 (Manuel Ugarte) trying this."
A second wrote: "This is a professional, putting in the work to try and get back into that England squad."
A third commented: "Has to be the first name on the team sheet."
A fourth said: "That’s serious talent."
Another added: "kills. Give him the minutes he deserves."
However, fans in Italy will not be getting the chance to see those skills in person until at least January .
Mainoo had hoped to seal a loan move to Napoli in a switch that would have reunited him with Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund .
The midfielder has already earned ten caps for England and is keen to impress ahead of the World Cup next summer.
He believed a move to Naples would have improved his chances of boosting his game time in order to impress Tuchel.

The deal did not go through as United wanted to keep hold of the midfielder in Ruben Amorim 's squad.
Mainoo will now have to fight for his spot at Old Trafford if he is to earn a spot on the plane to the US.
He was an unused substitute in the loss to Arsenal and the draw to Fulham .
He has so far only played 45 minutes in the Premier League, which all came in the 3-2 win over Burnley .
He did play the full 90 minutes against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup, but that match ended in an embarrassing defeat on penalties.
