⚽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 “Kobbie Mainoo feels ANGRY at Amorim after being benched again and the draw against Fulham
*
**BREAKING NEWS:** Tensions are rising once more in Manchester United’s dressing room as young star Kobbie Mainoo has reportedly voiced his displeasure with manager Rúben Amorim after yet another surprising choice to leave him out of the starting lineup during the club’s underwhelming 1-1 draw with Fulham.
At just 19, Mainoo has been a rare highlight in what has largely been a chaotic season for United, but he has become increasingly unhappy with Amorim’s squad decisions. Insiders close to the player claim Mainoo feels “betrayed” by being left out at pivotal times, believing his drive and creative spark could have made a difference in the match.
Following the draw, Mainoo is said to have told teammates: “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.”
His remarks underline the rising strain between Amorim and one of United’s standout youth products. Supporters have also been left puzzled, questioning why Mainoo keeps getting benched while others who continue to struggle remain in the lineup.
This isn’t the first instance of a questionable omission. In major games earlier this season, against the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City, Amorim favored “experience” instead of fielding Mainoo — a call that infuriated fans given the youngster’s performances and determination.
Analysts suggest Amorim may be mishandling a vital player. Several United icons have already cautioned the Portuguese manager that sidelining young homegrown prospects could seriously backfire, particularly when the fanbase is calling for a rebuild centered around academy talent.
The scenario is reaching a critical stage. If Mainoo remains excluded, he may start to consider interest from major European sides willing to offer him the role he desires.
The broader issue for Manchester United is clear: Why is such a dynamic talent being underutilized during a period when the team is struggling?
The frustration over the Fulham result has already sparked backlash, and Mainoo’s reaction may further escalate tensions. Some now fear this may be the beginning of a larger crisis unless Amorim acts swiftly to address the matter.
Eyes will now be firmly on United’s upcoming matches: Will Mainoo be given the opportunity he’s fighting for, or is this saga leading him toward an
eventual departure?
