Kobbie Mainoo’s future at Manchester United doesn’t appear as certain now. The club have this week been preparing for possible offers for the 19-year-old midfielder. Famous British sports writers Rob Dorsett and Dharmesh Sheth from Sky Sports have broken the news. His impressive play reiterates the league-wide interest in the promising young player.
With appearances alongside the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, Mainoo has already cemented his standing as one of Manchester United’s most talented midfield seconds. Now, he approaches a critical crossroads in his career. Miles aside, the club is very much aware that significant bids for the 18-year-old are already on their way. That’s a good sign of interest from other teams to sign him. The whirlwind of positive developments has only prompted more debate about his future, especially considering his lack of minutes on the pitch this season.
Per some reports Manchester United are just weighing their options on Mainoo. They are weighing the potential benefits of keeping him in their squad against the possibility of accepting offers from interested clubs. He can’t deal with the fact that he doesn’t play enough. This, in part, might motivate him to either re-up with the franchise, or seek new pastures.
