Kobbie Mainoo, the young football sensation from Manchester United, may be leaving the club in a surprise departure. Louis Saha, a former striker for the Red Devils, believes that both Mainoo and his teammate Alejandro Garnacho should be put up for sale, as he is not convinced that either of them are world class players.
Both Mainoo and Garnacho were once hailed as the brightest prospects at Old Trafford, but now their futures with the team are uncertain. Rumors of their potential exits have been circulating, with the club considering the benefits of selling academy products in terms of Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Saha acknowledges the financial aspect of football and believes that selling these players could generate funds for the team to make other significant transfers. He also shares that he has not seen enough from Mainoo and Garnacho to consider them irreplaceable players for Manchester United.
The former striker's opinion may not be a popular one, but the reality is that football is a business and the team must make practical decisions. As reported by The Guardian, Manchester United is open to offers for any of their players, including previously untouchable stars like Mainoo, Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund.
It is not just the young talents who are potentially up for sale, even summer signings like Leny Yoro, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, and Manuel Ugarte could be available if the right offer comes in. Interest in Mainoo and Garnacho has already been shown by Chelsea, Napoli, and Bayern Munich, while Juventus and Napoli are keeping an eye on Hojlund's situation.
Despite his initial success at Manchester United, Hojlund's performance has declined this season, and it may be challenging for the club to recoup the £64m they paid for him in 2023. However, there is still hope as talkSPORT reports that there is interest in the 21-year-old from Juventus and Napoli.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for these young players, but it seems that their time at Manchester United could be coming to an end. With Saha's opinion and the club's willingness to sell, it is clear that Mainoo and Garnacho's potential departure may not come as a surprise after all.
