According to The Athletic, Kobbie Mainoo informed Man Utd's leadership that he wanted to leave on loan before the summer transfer closed on Monday.
Kobbie Mainoo asked to leave Man Utd to “save” the World Cup
The 20 -year -old midfielder was dissatisfied when he gradually lost his foothold under coach Ruben Amorim and believed that leaving temporarily would give him the opportunity to play more often.
Mainoo even had a meeting with the team leader on Thursday. Although he did not want to leave Old Trafford permanently, the British player said that a loan contract would benefit career development. However, the Man Utd side is said to have refused and confirmed that he wanted to keep Mainoo who competed in the main kick, because the club still considered him an important factor in the squad.
Mainoo's goal is to seek stable opportunities to score points in the eyes of coach Thomas Tuchel for the World Cup campaign next summer. At Euro 2024, Mainoo participated almost in the England squad of Gareth Southgate, but during the Tuchel Dynasty, the staff of Man United has not been named on the summons.

Kobbie Mainoo makes a decision about the future. |
At the beginning of the new season, Mainoo only sat on the bench in the first two Premier League matches and had just started the first kick in the shocking defeat against Grimsby Town (fourth rank) at the League Cup. Many big European clubs such as Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are said to have closely monitored the situation of this young midfielder.
Meanwhile, Man Utd has just agreed to sell Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea for £ 40 million. The 21 -year -old signed a 7 -year contract with the Blues after the summer waiting for a new stop. Garnacho has repeatedly expressed his desire to leave when he was no longer in Amorim's plan.
The deal turns Garnacho into the fourth most expensive sale in Man Utd history, only after Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku and Angel Di Maria. At the same time, this is also the highest amount that the Red Devils once earned from an adult player at the Academy. Chelsea also installed 10% of the transfer fee if sold Garnacho in the future.
Last season, Garnacho scored 6 goals and had 2 assists after 36 appearances in the Premier League.
