Regarding Kobbie Mainoo’s situation, he did not get any playing time in Manchester United’s match against Fulham. This also marks the second consecutive Premier League match in which he has not played a single minute, making it clearly a difficult situation for him to accept.
Currently, the situation remains manageable – after all, this is just one match. As head coach Ruben Amorim stated, the club does need to communicate with the player, explaining the current arrangements and his future role within the team.
It is worth noting that a few months ago, Manchester United was on the verge of reaching an agreement with Mainoo over a contract extension. However, the club executive who was in charge of the negotiations at that time left the club. With the arrival of the new sporting director and new head coach, the club has indeed made some adjustments to its plans for Mainoo.
Nevertheless, although Mainoo is disappointed about not getting playing time, he has not yet initiated any formal negotiations regarding his future or a potential departure. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether there will be new developments in the next few days. For now, Mainoo is not necessarily regarded as a player who will leave Manchester United before the transfer window closes.
