Report: “Special” Man United player delivers Ruben Amorim ultimatum to club hierarchy

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

He was heavily linked with an exit during the summer window, but the 20-year-old ended up staying. He has struggled for regular game time at Manchester United, and he needs to leave the club in order to play more often.

Amorim does not fancy Kobbie Mainoo

It is clear that Ruben Amorim does not fancy him as a key player anymore. The midfielder is yet to start a single Premier League game this season. According to a report from Fichajes, he has informed the Manchester United hierarchy that he will leave the club in the near future unless Amorim is sacked.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. The Portuguese manager is under a lot of pressure because of Manchester United’s poor start to the season. He was heavily backed in the transfer market, but he has not been able to deliver on the pitch. Manchester United have been patient with him, but the results will need to improve quickly if he wants to hold onto his job.

It will be interesting to see how Manchester United convince Mainoo to stay at the club. He is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he has been labelled as a “special” player in the past. There is no doubt that he has the quality to develop into a top-class Premier League midfielder. Losing an elite talent like him would be a blow for Manchester United. It remains to be seen whether they decide to part ways with the Portuguese manager in order to keep the midfielder at the club beyond this season.
