Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Mainoo is yet to play for United this season and, with just two years left on his contract, the Red Devils risk losing him in the not-so-distant future. But as head coach Amorim pointed out, he has to fight for his spot in the team to get minutes.
After the 1-1 draw with Fulham, the Portuguese said on the 20-year-old: "He’s fighting for the position now with Bruno, and I change two midfielders. I let Mason Mount [play] there because we want to score a goal, and when I changed, I felt the team need to return to one holding midfielder near Bruno. So he (Mainoo) just needs to fight for the position with Bruno, as [it] should be at Manchester United. [Sometimes] he’s going to play with Bruno, but at the moment he’s fighting in training with Bruno for the position."

Alarm bells may start ringing for versatile midfielder Mainoo, who was previously a target of Chelsea, if he does not start against League Two side Grimsby Town on Wednesday in round two of the Carabao Cup.
