Manchester United is currently grappling with a limited first-team squad, compounded by the absence of several players due to the African Cup of Nations. To make matters worse, Bruno Fernandes recently sustained an injury, adding further strain to the team’s already difficult situation.
With squad depth stretched thin, every available player is becoming increasingly crucial. It’s also worth noting that the transfer window is just around the corner.
The topic of Kobbie Mainoo’s future continues to surface in conversations. The English midfielder has expressed dissatisfaction with his lack of playing time. Over the summer, his potential departure was widely discussed, with Napoli showing concrete interest in signing him and continuing to track his progress closely.
Sharing his thoughts on Mainoo’s future, Ruben Amorim called for patience. He also hinted that due to United’s current squad shortages, a January exit for the young midfielder might be unlikely. Furthermore, Amorim emphasised his belief that Mainoo has a vital role to play in the club’s long-term plans.
– Mainoo is the future of Manchester United. He just needs to be patient and wait for his opportunity. In football, everything can change in a matter of days – said Ruben Amorim, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
– If we don’t make any signings, it will be hard to let him go. We simply don’t have enough players – the Man United coach added.
