Manchester United's head coach Ruben Amorim commented on the situation with the team's midfielder Kobbie Mainoo:

"Of course, I value K. Mainoo. But in the end, everything is decided during training and matches.

It’s clear that the Englishman hasn’t played many games, but he had opportunities, especially last year. Everyone did.”

"K. Mainoo plays in the same position as Bruno Fernandes, so it is difficult to push the Portuguese out of the starting lineup.

If he comes to me and tells me that he wants to go out on loan in January, I will talk to him.

I won’t say what I will tell Kobbie Mainoo then, but I would be very happy if the midfielder wants to talk to me about this situation.”

The 20-year-old Kobbie Mainoo has played 11 matches this season.

The Englishman has been with this team since 2023 and has scored 7 times in 83 matches.
