'The door is open' - Ruben Amorim makes Kobbie Mainoo transfer admission at Manchester United

Mainoo, 20, seeks more playing time to maintain World Cup hopes and requested another loan after failing to start a Premier League match this season, manager Amorim said.

  • Asked before Monday's match, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said the door is open for homegrown midfielder Kobbie Mainoo to leave, adding he welcomes conversations but decisions depend on training and games.
  • Having failed to start this season, Mainoo has yet to start a Premier League match and requested a summer loan; he is expected to seek another loan next month due to limited playing time at Manchester United.
  • Amorim said he had conversations with Mainoo last year but denied recent transfer talks, while several pundits criticised his perceived lack of faith in the academy graduate, whom he will pick if right.
  • Mainoo faces seeking another loan next month, as his lack of minutes limits chances under Thomas Tuchel for England squad selection for next summer's World Cup.
  • After abandoning his usual 3-4-3, Amorim switched to 4-4-2 in a 4-4 draw at Old Trafford, highlighting defensive flaws despite scoring 30 and conceding 26 this season; he said he will not buy defenders.
