Kobe Mainu is also thinking of leaving Manchester United.

Britain's The Athletic reported on the 27th (Korea time) that Mainu has no intention of renewing his contract with Manchester United and may leave the team at the end of the transfer market. 'Mainu is deeply frustrated that he has not played in either game since the opening of the season, according to officials familiar with the situation. But this situation is not new. Mainu's playing time and role under Houbeng Amorim have been questioned for months,' the report said.

As a result, 20-year-old Mainu from Manchester United Youth is said to have been open to leaving his former team before the transfer window deadline, and he has also discussed the issue with his teammates. Manchester United deny it, but United have also considered him as a candidate for sale throughout the summer. Mainu, like Rasmus Hoylun, also explained that the possibility of a transfer has been mentioned internally since the June transfer window, and the club has already been considering selling it since January when the right price is offered.

Mainu's possible transfer is shocking news for Manchester United fans. Minu, a supernova born in 2005, is a next-generation midfielder produced by Manchester United Youth Academy. Basically, stable ball guard and instantaneous pressure escape are considered advantages. Mainu surprised Manchester United fans by starting to play the first-team game in earnest in the 2023-2024 season. At the age of 19, he played more than 30 games between the Premier League, FA Cup, and Europa League, and was called a new hope for Manchester United's midfield. In particular, he received great attention when he scored the winning goal against Manchester City in the 2024 FA Cup final. He also joined the England national team immediately and is also the future of England.

However, Mainu has not been able to see the light under Amorim's leadership. It is not suitable for director Amorim's system. Even if you give an offensive role or a central midfielder, it is somewhat ambiguous. Mainu is thinking of moving his team after he is recently behind in the main competition.

The Athletic reportedly prefers to move abroad rather than stay in the Premier League. There was also interest from English clubs. When Chelsea inquired about the possibility of signing in January, Manchester United offered a price of 70 million pounds (about 131.5 billion won). However, there is a widespread perception that they can agree on less than about 45 million pounds (about 84.5 billion won) at the moment,' he said, adding that Manchester United really intends to send Mainu.

Another reason why Maino wants to leave Manchester United is the salary. Currently, Mainu is receiving 20,000 pounds (about 37.5 million won) per week. Mainu is demanding more than 10 times a week based on his performance in the 2023-2024 season. Manchester United maintains that no matter how outstanding a prospect, they can never accept that condition.
