Kobbie Mainoo is among the injured players as Manchester United navigates the busy festive season.
Mainoo has played only ten times this season and is rumored to be considering a move from Old Trafford in the January transfer window, with decisions about his future expected soon.
Several clubs have shown interest in signing the midfielder, with Chelsea reportedly leading the race for the Manchester United youth academy graduate.
However, an injury before United’s match against Aston Villa leaves uncertainty about his status for the upcoming games.
For Manchester United, Mainoo’s role could be crucial in midfield, especially if captain Bruno Fernandes is sidelined for an extended period, as indicated by Ruben Amorim.
Amorim has provided updates on both Mainoo and Fernandes ahead of the Boxing Day match against Newcastle United.
After the Aston Villa game, he stated: “Kobbie Mainoo is out, Bruno Fernandes is out, so we’ll see. No excuses, we’ll try to win the next game.”
This update suggests both midfielders will not be available for the Newcastle match.
Nonetheless, as Amorim noted, the team will need to adapt and compete against Newcastle on Boxing Day.
As fans await more information, they may hope for updates regarding the return dates for both players.
