Manchester United’s new era under Ruben Amorim has been anything but predictable, with tactical tweaks and transfer speculation dominating the early weeks of the campaign.
The Portuguese coach was praised during pre-season for instilling energy into his side, yet questions remain about how certain players fit into his system.
One of the biggest talking points has been United’s midfield balance, especially with Amorim choosing experience over youth in the opening fixtures.
The manager has leaned heavily on Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, leaving supporters wondering whether opportunities for the next generation will be limited this season.
At the same time, Europe’s biggest clubs continue to monitor Old Trafford with intent, ready to pounce on any unsettled talent.
The focus now turns to Kobbie Mainoo, who has endured a frustrating start to the season.
After being left on the bench for United’s opening two league games, the 20-year-old looked visibly disheartened, even appearing downcast as he boarded the team bus after Sunday’s match at Craven Cottage.
His lack of involvement has only fuelled rumours that he could be on the move before deadline day.
What truly stands out is the drastic drop in United’s valuation.
Once quoted at £70 million when Chelsea enquired back in January, the youngster’s price tag has now reportedly fallen to around £45 million, and United may even accept less as the window ticks down, as per The Athletic.
