Kobbie Mainoo Expected To Leave Manchester United: Report

It seems as if problems have slowly started to mount for Ruben Amorim and his men. According to a report in The Guardian, Kobbie Mainoo wants to leave Manchester United. It is being said that Ruben Amorim isn't willing to include Mainoo in his starting XI and he has been on no show so far in the ongoing 2025/26 season of the Premier League. Last year when Mainoo returned from an injury, he was no longer United's first choice in the starting XI and he was demoted to a role of a substitute.

Mainoo was a part of England's Euro Cup XI, but unfortunately they lost to Spain by a margin of 2-1. Mainoo then scored for United in their FA Cup final win against Manchester City a few weeks later. It is believed that Mainoo is competing with Bruno Fernandes, the skipper of Manchester United, for a place in the playing XI. It is almost certain that Mainoo's career is not progressing with United and he might very well be on the lookout to go to a new club.
