Kobbie Mainoo Could Leave Manchester United: What Is Known About the Possible Transfer.
Ruben Amorim Encouraged Kobbie Mainoo to Fight for a Place in the Manchester United Squad
According to The Sun: Ruben Amorim emphasized to Kobbie Mainoo that he needs to fight for his place in the starting lineup of Manchester United, despite thinking about a move away from Old Trafford.
Mainoo, who has yet to feature in any of United's matches this season, has been kept on the bench in the first two games, while Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro have established themselves in midfield.
Amorim assured Mainoo that he would have his chance in the starting lineup this season if he continues to fight for his position. After the 1-1 draw with Fulham, he said: 'He is currently battling for position with Bruno, and I replaced two midfielders. We want to score a goal, so I brought Mason Mount onto the pitch.'
The 20-year-old has been held on the bench in the first two matches, and Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro were placed in midfield.
I allowed Mason Mount to play there because we needed to score, and when I changed the lineup, I felt the team needed to revert to one defender next to Bruno.
So he (Mainoo) just needs to battle for position with Bruno, as it should be in Manchester United.
He will play with Bruno, but right now he is battling in training with Bruno for position.
If Mainoo is sold, the club will be able to receive 100% profit, as he is a product of the academy. Chelsea had previously been linked with a possible transfer of this midfielder this year.
Meanwhile, the Guardian has reported that Mainoo could be tempted to move abroad. Manchester United fans have criticized Amorim for his treatment of Mainoo, with one stating: 'Kobbie Mainoo is being kept as the fourth best midfielder at United, it’s shocking.'
'The Red Devils' will play against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup next Wednesday.
Kobbie Mainoo has received support from Ruben Amorim and has the opportunity to prove himself in the Manchester United squad. Although he is not playing yet, the head coach is confident in his abilities and encourages him to fight for a position on the field. Reports of a possible move for Mainoo abroad and criticism from fans indicate a tense situation surrounding the team.Read also
