“IF HE DOESN’T WANT ME, LET ME GO!” – MAINOO HITS BACK AT AMORIM AFTER FULHAM DRAW
BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United’s dressing room is beginning to feel the heat again as young sensation Kobbie Mainoo has reportedly expressed his frustration at manager Rúben Amorim following yet another shock decision to bench him in the club’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Fulham.
The 19-year-old, who has been seen as one of United’s brightest sparks in an otherwise turbulent season, has grown increasingly upset with Amorim’s team selections. Sources close to the player suggest that Mainoo feels “betrayed” after being overlooked in crucial moments, despite knowing that his creativity and energy could have influenced the outcome of the game.
Mainoo allegedly told teammates after the draw: “If he doesn’t want me anymore, he should let me go. He knows I can help change the game, yet he replaced me with someone else.”
The midfielder’s words paint a clear picture of growing tension between Amorim and one of United’s most promising academy graduates. Fans have also voiced their confusion, questioning why Amorim continues to sideline Mainoo while persisting with underperforming names in midfield.
This is not the first time the youngster has been benched under surprising circumstances. In big matches against Arsenal and Manchester City earlier in the season, Amorim opted for “experience” over Mainoo, a decision that left supporters outraged given the player’s form and hunger.
Pundits argue that Amorim is mishandling one of United’s key assets. Former United legends have already warned the Portuguese coach that alienating the club’s young stars could backfire badly, especially at a time when fans are demanding a rebuild around homegrown talents.
The situation is now at a boiling point. If Amorim continues to freeze out Mainoo, the player could be tempted by approaches from top European clubs who would gladly give him the platform he craves.
For Manchester United, the bigger question remains: Why is one of their most exciting players being wasted at a time when results are collapsing?
Fans are already furious with the Fulham draw, and Mainoo’s outburst only adds fuel to the fire. Many believe this could be the start of a full-blown crisis if Amorim does not resolve the situation quickly.
United’s next fixtures will now be watched with even more intensity: Will Kobbie Mainoo finally get his chance, or will this saga push him closer to the exit door?
