Manchester United has received a significant boost with the departure of Ruben Amorim.

The absence of Kobbie Mainoo has been noticeable in recent games, as United faced challenges in midfield due to injuries and managerial instability.

The potential return of the 20-year-old could help solidify the team as they gear up for important matches under interim management.

After weeks of rehabilitation, there is now hope that the academy graduate is nearing his long-awaited return.

Kobbie Mainoo is back in training after Ruben Amorim’s exit

Darren Fletcher, the interim manager of United, provided a positive update on Mainoo during an interview on MUTV.

“Kobbie trained today, but we’ll see how he feels tomorrow to decide if he’ll be in the squad,” Fletcher said.

This marks Mainoo’s first full training session since experiencing a setback that kept him sidelined during Amorim’s last weeks as manager.

The midfielder’s return is timely for a team that has struggled with rhythm and control in midfield since his injury.

His return to training indicates that the medical staff are confident about his progress, as he displayed no visible discomfort during the session. United will continue to assess his condition before deciding on his inclusion in the matchday squad.

Kobbie Mainoo’s injury recovery is nearing completion

Mainoo’s injury initially raised concerns about a longer recovery period, but recent updates suggest he is closer to returning than expected.

The timing of his comeback is critical. With Amorim’s departure creating uncertainty around strategies and team dynamics, Mainoo’s presence will bring both stability and energy.

His return also boosts team morale, as the squad has faced challenges on and off the field. Mainoo’s breakthrough season has been one of the few highlights for United this season.

While the club is cautious about rushing him back, the outlook is positive. If Mainoo keeps progressing without issues, he may return to action sooner than anticipated.
