Mainoo has previously been reported to have demanded an Old Trafford exit in search of more game-time, but Ruben Amorim recently stated in a press conference that January exits will only occur if it is in the best interests of the club. He appeared to be referring to want-away stars Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee.
"The first thing is that the club comes first, so we have to think about the club and the team, and then everything can happen," said Amorim.
"I was a football player, I understand everything, and I want to help my players in every situation, so I don't know what is going to happen.
"I want my players happy. I understand the frustration of some players, seeing that the World Cup is there, and I know what it means for the World Cup, but Manchester United comes first, so if I can help the club and the players, I will be happy, if not I have to think about the team."
