Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United)
November 2025
Mainoo has just 138 league minutes across seven appearances. Amorim blocked a summer exit but says one-game-per-week scheduling without Europe restricts rotation. With interest from Napoli, Newcastle, and West Ham, Mainoo could push for a January move before England selection. Amorim wants European qualification to expand minutes and manage the group. Until then, dropping in-form starters to accommodate prospects is difficult. January decision hinges on United’s trajectory, midfield pecking order, and Mainoo’s World Cup ambitions under Tuchel, balancing development against squad needs.
