Kobbie Mainoo has dropped down Manchester United's midfield pecking order following Ruben Amorim's arrival as manager.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Mainoo has asked again to go on loan in the final 48 hours of the transfer window. Manchester United are reportedly intent on keeping him despite the request, creating a stand-off ahead of the deadline.
