Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is considering his future at Old Trafford due to stalled contract negotiations and concerns about the club's direction under new manager Ruben Amorim.
Kobbie Mainoo is “concerned” about the Man United future under Ruben Amorim as his contract negotiations have hit a stalemate, according to the outlet’s website on 7 January. The midfielder has yet to agree a new contract and “could be sold this month”. His current deal ends in 2027, but talks have hit an impasse which has alerted clubs around Europe including rivals Chelsea.
However, the report suggests Mainoo has concerns over the “direction of the club” and his “chances of playing Champions League football” as the club linger in mid-table despite the ex-Sporting boss’ arrival in place of Erik ten Hag.Amorim has faced a tough start to life at Old Trafford, with the club currently sitting 13th in the league, having won only two of their nine matches. While the Portuguese manager will likely want to make his mark on the squad quickly, his efforts could be hampered if key players like Mainoo express a desire to leave.United would prefer to sell someone like Rashford, but his high wages and transfer fee have made him less appealing to potential buyers. Rashford’s sale could offer the club an opportunity to show 100% profit on the PSR balance sheet, but so could Mainoo, given that he is also an academy graduate. This situation may force the owners’ hand, as they are under pressure to back their new manager with signings. However, things could quickly turn sour if key players the manager wants to keep are sold for reasons related to ownership and financial constraints
