Manchester United’s midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has been on the radar of over 10 clubs, as reported by Fabrizio Romano after there were glimpses of him being unhappy at the club. Kobbie has reportedly asked United to leave on loan this summer, but the club is not ready to let him leave until next year, i.e. June 2026. Mainoo wants to play and needs game time but Ruben Amorim’s strategic plan for this season doesn’t see Kobbie playing much of the games.
Manchester United starlet Kobbie Mainoo has become a hot topic in the transfer market, with more than 10 clubs closely monitoring his situation, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 20-year-old midfielder, regarded as one of the brightest prospects at Old Trafford, has reportedly shown signs of frustration due to limited playing opportunities this season.
Mainoo is believed to have asked the club for a loan move this summer in search of regular game time. However, United are unwilling to sanction an exit until June 2026, as they consider him an important part of their long-term project.
The midfielder’s desire for more minutes stems from manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical approach, which currently doesn’t place Mainoo at the heart of his plans. With competition for places fierce in midfield, the England international fears his development could stagnate without consistent involvement.
