Premier League
Manchester United has decided to listen to offers for Kobbie Mainoo, a young English talent who is not part of Rubén Amorim's immediate plans, as reported by English media.
The midfielder, whose contract expires in 2027, would be willing to move elsewhere if a convincing proposal arrives in the final week of the transfer market.
Mainoo lost prominence at Manchester United
At 19 years old, Mainoo seemed destined to be a key player in the Red Devils' midfield. Since his debut in the Carabao Cup against Charlton in 2023, he has accumulated 72 official matches and was crucial in the 2023/24 season under the guidance of Erik ten Hag.
This performance earned him a spot in the English national team, with whom he played in the 2024 Euro Cup, starting in the final against Spain. He was even nominated for the 2024 Golden Boy award, though it ultimately went to Lamine Yamal.
However, the 2024/25 season was marred by injuries, limiting his appearances to 25 matches and drastically reducing his importance at Old Trafford.
The arrival of Rubén Amorim on the bench has shifted the hierarchy in the midfield. The Portuguese coach trusts Bruno Fernandes as the absolute leader in creativity, relegating Mainoo to a secondary role.

Amorim does not count on the Englishman
This was evident in the first two Premier League matches, where the Englishman did not play a single minute against Arsenal and Fulham. His next chance to play seems to be in the second round of the Carabao Cup against the modest Grimsby, a stark contrast to his importance just a year ago.
A report from talkSPORT confirms that the player sought a salary increase in March, but the lack of agreement and the new sporting scenario have cooled his continuity.
Manchester United is looking to sign a midfielder in the market before finalizing Mainoo's departure, reflecting the club's strategy of not weakening without a replacement. His market value remains high due to his youth, international experience, and participation in elite tournaments.
If his departure materializes, the midfielder could become an attractive bet for several European clubs looking for youth and quality in midfield. For United, the challenge is to find a balance between squad renewal and losing one of its most promising talents.
