The Red Devils' leadership decided to keep Mainoo in the squad at the end of the summer transfer window, even though the player himself expressed his desire to leave to get more playing time.

At 20, Mainoo is struggling to maintain his form under coach Amorim, competing with captain Bruno Fernandes for a place in midfield.

With a desire to play for England at the 2026 World Cup, Mainoo is looking forward to playing regularly, not being "nailed" on the bench.

Eddie Howe and Newcastle will provide what Mainoo wants. They plan to approach United early next year to ask for a loan for the promising youngster who grew up at Carrington.

Many of his United teammates were surprised when Mainoo only started one match since the start of the season, against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup.

When talking about his student, Ruben Amorim said: "Like many other players, he wants to play more.

I didn't speak to Mainoo before the transfer window closed, but we have been talking for a few weeks now.

I don't want Mainoo to think that I'm talking to keep him. He can do much better with his potential.

For some people it's enough. But for Mainoo it's not enough. Maybe some people think it's unfair, but I'm doing Kobbie Mainoo a favor."
