“IF HE DOESN’T WANT ME, LET ME GO!” – MAINOO BLASTS AMORIM AFTER FULHAM DRAW
BREAKING: Tensions are boiling over inside Manchester United’s dressing room after their frustrating 1-1 draw with Fulham, with 19-year-old starlet Kobbie Mainoo reportedly voicing his anger at manager Rúben Amorim.
The midfielder, regarded as one of United’s brightest hopes in an otherwise difficult season, is said to be furious with Amorim’s repeated decision to leave him out of key matches. According to sources close to the player, Mainoo feels “betrayed” after once again being overlooked despite believing his energy and creativity could have tilted the game in United’s favour.
In a post-match exchange with teammates, Mainoo allegedly fumed: “If he doesn’t want me anymore, then let me go. He knows I can change the game, yet he keeps choosing someone else instead.”
The comments underline what appears to be a growing rift between Amorim and the academy graduate, a situation that has baffled supporters. Fans have taken to social media to question why Mainoo continues to be benched while more senior midfielders underperform week after week.
This is not an isolated incident. Earlier this season, Mainoo was also dropped for crunch clashes against Arsenal and Manchester City, with Amorim citing “experience” as the deciding factor—a move that drew heavy criticism from pundits and ex-United players alike.
Football analysts warn that Amorim risks alienating one of United’s most valuable young assets at a time when the club desperately needs to rebuild around homegrown talent. European giants are already monitoring the situation, ready to offer Mainoo the platform he craves should tensions at Old Trafford escalate further.
For United, the fallout comes at the worst possible moment. Fans are furious after another poor result, and Mainoo’s outburst has only intensified the pressure on Amorim. With crucial fixtures looming, the spotlight will now be firmly on whether the 19-year-old is restored to the starting XI—or if this saga pushes him closer to the exit door.
