- Mainoo yet to feature this season
- Open to Man Utd departure
- Teams interested in midfielder
According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Mainoo is “ready to leave متحد on loan this month” and he is yet to receive a new contract offer. The Red Devils are said to be open to a permanent exit but he still believes he could have an Old Trafford future.
Mainoo is yet to play for United this season and, with just two years left on his contract, the Red Devils risk losing him in the not-so-distant future. But as head coach Amorim pointed out, he has to fight for his spot in the team to get minutes.
After the 1-1 draw with فولهام, the Portuguese said on the 20-year-old: “He’s fighting for the position now with Bruno, and I change two midfielders. I let Mason Mount [play] there because we want to score a goal, and when I changed, I felt the team need to return to one holding midfielder near Bruno. So he (Mainoo) just needs to fight for the position with Bruno, as [it] should be at مانشستر يونايتد. [Sometimes] he’s going to play with Bruno, but at the moment he’s fighting in training with Bruno for the position.”
Since Amorim arrived at United last November, إنجلترا international Mainoo has struggled for regular game time. He managed one start in their run to the الدوري الأوروبي final, two in the FA Cup and 15 in the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز الموسم الماضي.
Alarm bells may start ringing for versatile midfielder Mainoo, who was previously a target of تشيلسي, if he does not start against الدوري الثاني جانب Grimsby Town on Wednesday in round two of the كأس كاراباو.
