"Kobbie Mainoo's future at Manchester United is up in the air ahead of the final few days of the transfer window amid the midfielder's concerns over a lack of playing time under Ruben Amorim, sources have told ESPN. Mainoo has not played a single minute of United's first two Premier League games against Arsenal and Fulham. It has promoted worry from the 20-year-old that he's potentially facing a season with limited opportunities ahead of the World Cup next summer."
"United, according to sources, are not actively encouraging offers for Mainoo. Their tight financial position and the need to further strengthen the squad means any serious bid would have to be scrutinised, although club bosses do not think their valuation will be met. Mainoo, meanwhile, has not asked to leave. There is, though, an acceptance that he would have to consider his options if a formal offer was submitted."
