Man United's Updated Stance on Kobbie Mainoo Transfer Revealed

Manchester United have confirmed they have no plans to sell Kobbie Mainoo in the January transfer window, with the 20-year-old academy graduate now likely to play a significant role under the club's next manager.



Ruben Amorim's departure has changed the trajectory for Mainoo, who had received minimal playing time under the former boss with just one Premier League start this season. Despite Amorim's reluctance to utilize the England international, United maintained their commitment to keeping him at the club.

According to sources, Mainoo will be given another opportunity to impress once a new manager is appointed. Both interim caretaker Darren Fletcher and potential interim replacements Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick are believed to be admirers of the midfielder, with plans to reintegrate him into the starting XI.

The midfielder had even requested a loan departure in the summer due to limited opportunities, but remained at Old Trafford as backup to Bruno Fernandes. With fresh managerial personnel on the horizon, Mainoo is expected to be a long-term part of United's plans moving forward.

Football Insider also revealed that United are considering "top-class" managers for the permanent position, with Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola, and Enzo Maresca among the leading contenders.
