"The England international midfielder is struggling to get playing time this season under manager Ruben Amorim. Having played only 73 minutes of Premier League action this season, questions are being raised about Mainoo and his future at Old Trafford. Although the young midfielder is in the future plans of the manager and the club, he has struggled to convince Amorim about giving him a place in the starting line up."
"Amorim has expressed his desire not to change his philosophy and his team which makes it even more difficult for Mainoo to win a place in the starting line up. The Portuguese manager has made it clear that Mainoo is competing against Bruno Fernandes for a place in the starting line up and considering how consistent, influential and crucial Fernandes is to the Red Devils, it is difficult to see Mainoo get a place in the team any time soon."
"Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe admires Mainoo and he will make a move for the midfielder if he continues to struggle for playing time at Old Trafford. Mainoo wanted to leave the Red Devils this summer in a loan move as the youngster was looking to get more playing time since he wants to make the best case for the FIFA World Cup next year but United rejected his demand of a move away."
Kobbie Mainoo is receiving minimal playing time at Manchester United, totaling only 73 Premier League minutes this season. Manager Ruben Amorim has not placed Mainoo in the starting lineup, citing a stable philosophy and established team selection. Mainoo competes directly with Bruno Fernandes for a midfield spot, making regular starts unlikely while Fernandes remains influential. Manchester United have endured poor early-season form and an early Carabao Cup exit, intensifying scrutiny over selection decisions. Newcastle United and other top European clubs such as Napoli and Real Madrid are tracking Mainoo, and Newcastle may pursue a move if his opportunities remain limited. Mainoo previously sought a summer loan that was rejected.
