Ruben Amorim is reportedly "working with Kobbie Mainoo on his defensive plays" at Manchester United, with the Red Devils refusing to rule the homegrown midfielder out of their long-term future plans. The talented 20-year-old has struggled for regular game time under Amorim this season, but Casemiro's impending suspension could present him with an opportunity to reclaim a starting berth.

Kobbie Mainoo reportedly has a new best friend at Manchester United after the academy star was forced to find new mates following Alejandro Garnacho's exit. United’s dressing room dynamics have shifted again, and it’s Mainoo who has had to adapt. The 19-year-old midfielder, once inseparable from Garnacho, has found himself forging a fresh bond after his best mate departed Old Trafford last month.

Manchester United are heading for a stormy few weeks behind closed doors, with reports claiming that crunch transfer talks have been scheduled with Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee ahead of the January window. Both players are said to be growing deeply frustrated by their limited minutes under boss Ruben Amorim, and are now demanding clarity on their futures before the turn of the year.

Manchester United are lining up a shock move for Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton as they gear up for a midfield reshuffle. United had looked to bolster in the middle of the park over the summer but were rebuffed in their efforts to sign Brighton's Carlos Baleba. However, they have since turned their attention to Wharton, with Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro both on the Old Traffford chopping block.

Paul Pogba has seen a third spell at Manchester United speculated on, and he has linked up with Leny Yoro and Kobbie Mainoo during their summer break.
