Kobbie Mainoo's future at Manchester United remains uncertain as he faces competition from captain Bruno Fernandes for a midfield position under manager Ruben Amorim. Amorim has indicated that Mainoo must compete directly with Fernandes in training to secure playing time. The 20-year-old England international, who is entering the final two years of his contract at Old Trafford, is reportedly frustrated by limited opportunities and the tactical system employed by Amorim. Mainoo is open to leaving Manchester United, with at least 10 clubs, including Spanish giants Real Madrid, reportedly interested in acquiring him. Despite the club being open to a sale, they are not actively pushing for his exit. Communication between Mainoo and Amorim has been described as lacking, and there is a contract impasse related to wage expectations. Concerns have also been raised about Mainoo's mobility on the pitch. The situation has prompted discussions about the broader challenges at Manchester United under Amorim's management, including the handling of key players like Fernandes and Mainoo, as the club prepares for the transfer window deadline on September 1.
