Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has yet to establish himself under manager Ruben Amorim.
Mainoo has not played a single minute in the 2025-26 campaign, raising big doubts over his future at Old Trafford.
According to reliable X account Sully Talkz, the Man United academy star is expected to stay this summer.
The club are not looking to sell him nor has he asked the club to leave.
This update will leave a large section of Man United fans delighted as they wanted their wonderkid to thrive at the Theatre of Dreams.
Crucial six months ahead for Mainoo
The 20-year-old is one of the most talented midfielders across Europe.
He rose through the ranks at United and enjoyed the breakthrough under former manager Erik ten Hag.
He finished off a fantastic team goal in United’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
Since Amorim’s arrival, the youngster has struggled to nail down a consistent role.
He has been shuffled around the pitch, operating as a false nine, a number 10, and in the midfield pivot.
The Portuguese head coach views him as direct competition for Bruno Fernandes in central areas.
Fernandes is United’s talisman and dislodging him from the XI looks an almost impossible challenge.
Mainoo must prove himself on the training ground to convince Amorim he deserves regular minutes.
If the situation does not improve by January, United may consider sanctioning a loan move to accelerate his development.
United face Grimsby Town tonight in the Carabao Cup second round, and the tie could offer Mainoo a lifeline.
After being brutally overlooked in the opening two fixtures, the youngster will be desperate to feature from the start.
