- Palmer makes cryptic comment on Mainoo Instagram post
- Wants Mainoo to be ‘freed’ by Man Utd
- Mainoo struggling for minutes under Amorim
Mainoo remained an unused substitute in متحد‘s first two الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز matches of the 2025-26 campaign and only made his first league appearance of the new season in the club’s 3-2 win over بيرنلي as he came off the bench. In Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, Mainoo is competing with club captain Bruno Fernandes for a place in the starting line-up, which has naturally reduced his game time.
With less than a year left until the 2026 كأس العالم, Mainoo is eyeing a return to the إنجلترا وطني team, and as a result, he cannot afford to miss out on regular minutes. The Red Devils youth product thus pushed for a summer loan move elsewhere, but he was denied by the club during the transfer window.
After failing to make it into Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the September World Cup qualifiers, Mainoo is sweating it out on the training field. On Friday, he shared a post on Instagram featuring his workouts with the caption: “Nothing pretty”. In the comment section, تشيلسي star Palmer dropped a cryptic message, which left the fans wondering if he wants Mainoo to be freed by United. Palmer’s comment read: “3 my boy.”
The United sensation will hope to get some game time in the upcoming ديربي as Amorim’s side next face rivals مانشستر سيتي on September 14 in the Premier League.
