Manchester United has recently made the decision to part ways with their manager, Ruben Amorim, after a disagreement with one of their players, Jason Wilcox. This unexpected move has left many players uncertain about their future with the club, including Kobbie Mainoo. Despite being a fan of the club, Mainoo is not guaranteed to stay and is seeking reassurance from the club before committing to his future.
Mainoo's rise to fame under former manager, Erik ten Hag, was followed by a struggle to impress the new manager. There were even rumors of a potential move to Chelsea, but it fell through due to failure in agreeing on a transfer fee. As a result, Mainoo was left with a limited role under Amorim. However, with Amorim's departure, Mainoo's chances of securing a spot in Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad have been revived, and he may have a brighter future at Manchester United.
According to sources, Mainoo may have the opportunity to revive his career under interim manager Darren Fletcher, but there are no guarantees. Mainoo is seeking reassurance from the club's officials regarding his role in the squad and first team. His current contract is set to expire in 18 months, and negotiations for a new deal were put on hold during Amorim's reign. However, with the possibility of regular playing time, Mainoo may reconsider and reassess his situation at the club.
Former Manchester United striker, Michael Owen, believes that this is a crucial opportunity for Mainoo to prove himself and take advantage of the situation. With Amorim gone, Mainoo may have a chance to reclaim his place in the team, but there will be no excuses if he fails to do so. Owen emphasizes the importance of Mainoo taking this opportunity and performing well, as doubts may start to arise if he doesn't.
Interestingly, Mainoo's future may also depend on the next manager that Manchester United appoints. If he is not given enough playing time and opportunities, it may raise concerns about his performance and development, similar to Marcus Rashford's situation. Therefore, Mainoo's success now lies in his own hands, and he must prove himself to the club and its fans. Only time will tell if Mainoo will be able to rise to the occasion and become a key player for Manchester United.
