Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly preparing to request a loan move in January as his frustration grows under Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. The 20-year-old midfielder has made just four appearances this season, with only one start—a humiliating Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town.
Mainoo, who starred for England in the Euro 2024 final, now finds himself on the fringes of both club and country. With the 2026 World Cup looming, he fears missing out on Thomas Tuchel’s squad unless he secures regular minutes.
Sources close to the player say Mainoo held private talks with Amorim last week. While the manager reassured him of his long-term role, Mainoo remains unconvinced. He’s reportedly willing to push for a loan move in January to revive his international hopes.
Napoli, Real Sociedad, and Brighton are among clubs monitoring his situation. United blocked a summer loan, citing squad depth concerns, but with new midfield targets like Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton on the radar, Mainoo’s exit may be inevitable.
Fans are divided. Some see Mainoo as the future of United’s midfield, while others believe a loan could be the best path to development.
