Kobbie Mainoo faces the possibility of leaving Man United |
In fact, Mainoo is in the sights of about 10 European clubs. Mainoo has not played a minute for United this season, just sitting on the bench against Arsenal and Fulham. Since returning to a mental injury in April, he had two full 90 minutes of kicking and began to be depressed when he was constantly sitting outside.
Coach Ruben Amorim admits the possibility of Mainoo farewell to the team right in January: “We always want to retain the best players, especially the talents of mature from the Academy. But everyone understands the current situation of the club. I really like Kobbie, he is progressing day by day. However, this is a difficult period and we have to wait to see what will happen.”
Man United will return to play at dawn Thursday (Vietnam time), when being a guest on Grimsby Town's Blundell Park in the second round of the British League Cup.
