Mainoo’s Rollercoaster Year at Man United…
Kobbie Mainoo has gone from being the FA Cup final hero and every England fan’s dream to a Manchester United bench warmer quicker than you can say ‘midfield magic’. In the dizzying heights of 2024, he was schooling seasoned pros like he walked straight out of a Hollywood sports movie. Declan Rice even vouched for Mainoo’s bold honesty, which included a heated argument on the pitch that could rival a family feud on Thanksgiving Day. Mainoo’s commanding nature and calm presence felt as epic as getting free Wi-Fi in the middle of nowhere.
Fast forward, and it seems Mainoo’s comeback isn’t happening as fast as a cat chasing a laser pointer. Despite his undeniable talent, last season’s candies were stolen by injuries and manager shuffles. He’s stuck on the bench, watching United’s midfield like it’s a reality TV show he’s desperate to participate in. Gary Neville’s analysis sounds more like a conspiracy theory, suggesting Ruben Amorim isn’t a Mainoo fan right now, opting for Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, and Mason Mount instead. Mainoo’s currently competing head-to-head with Bruno for a spot, but who knows, maybe next week he’ll be challenging for the goalkeeper gloves as a backup plan!
