Mainoo Stays Despite Loan Request…
Kobbie Mainoo might have used smoke signals or a telegram, but his message was loud and clear to Ruben Amorim: he wanted out on loan! However, Manchester United’s response was like a stubborn old mule refusing to budge. With the transfer window now sealed tighter than a dragon guarding its hoard, Mainoo stays put at Old Trafford until January. The young midfielder’s yearning for more game time and his buddy Garnacho’s exit pushed him to question his spot, making him wonder if the grass is really greener elsewhere.
Despite finding himself rubbing shoulders with superstar Bruno Fernandes for a place in the starting XI, Mainoo isn’t sulking in the corner like a toddler denied candy. Instead, he’s training like he’s preparing to wrestle a bear, sharing glimpses of his fitness routine at Hale Country Club. Although he missed the England squad call-up, he’ll be raring to go when the Premier League resumes. Only time will tell if he’s saving an ace up his sleeve for the Manchester derby or just warming up for his own sitcom called ‘Waiting for Minutes’.
