Kobbie Mainoo's emergence at Manchester United under Erik ten Hag was marked by his Premier League debut in November 2023.
He impressed in his first start against Everton and became Casemiro's regular midfield partner. Mainoo's breakthrough season was highlighted by scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup final and representing England at Euro 2024.
However, since Ruben Amorim's arrival, the 20-year-old has struggled for consistent game time, prompting him to push for a loan move over the summer, which was rejected by the club.
Mainoo is yet to start a Premier League game this season, and it seems unlikely that Amorim will make changes in midfield soon.
