Kobbie Mainoo Gains Confidence After Manager’s Departure

Shift in Perspective at Manchester United

Kobbie Mainoo is feeling more optimistic about his future with Manchester United following the exit of Ruben Amorim. The young England midfielder had previously submitted a transfer request to United last month but remained assertive about seeking a move during the upcoming January transfer window.

Reassessment of His Situation

With Amorim no longer at the helm, Mainoo is reconsidering his position at Old Trafford. A United insider shared insights with The Sun, stating, “Kobbie experienced frustration under Amorim, as he believed he had successfully integrated into the first team by playing to his strengths.”

The source elaborated, “Unexpectedly, Amorim directed him to alter his playing style significantly, which did not align with his natural abilities.”

Future Considerations

Discussions regarding a new contract had reached a standstill this season; however, the current circumstances may lead to a change, as Mainoo begins to feel more assured about his place within the squad.

The insider continued, “Amorim’s departure certainly enhances Kobbie’s chances of remaining at United, but it’s not a definite outcome. He requires commitments from management on how they envision his role within the team.”
