Kobbie Mainoo’s Manchester United future is under serious threat, with the England midfielder now considering an Old Trafford exit after slipping down the pecking order under Ruben Amorim.
Just over a year ago, Mainoo was hailed as United’s present and future after scoring in the FA Cup final and shining for England at Euro 2024. But instead of preparing for key Premier League fixtures or World Cup qualifiers, his most likely start this week will come in a Carabao Cup clash against League Two side Grimsby Town.
For a player once tipped alongside Marc Guehi and Cole Palmer as part of England’s next golden generation, the decline has been swift. A fresh move could be the only way for Mainoo to revive his career — but United may come to regret pushing a homegrown talent of his calibre toward the exit door.
