Manchester United will not allow Kobbie Mainoo to leave on loan under any circumstances before this evening\u2019s 7pm transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

Over the last week, Mainoo has asked on more than one occasion to oversee a temporary move elsewhere<\/a>, but has seen all requests rebuffed by the board.<\/p>\n

Kobbie Mainoo: The state of play today<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano<\/a> confirmed on the penultimate day of the window that United will \u2018keep blocking\u2019 the midfielder\u2019s exit, making it clear that he is to stay and fight for his place following the international break.<\/p>\n

The board were already closed off to sanctioning a loan deal but now have even more grounds to remain firm in their stance, given both Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount were withdrawn with injuries during Saturday\u2019s dramatic late victory over Burnley.<\/p>\n

There will, of course, be hopes that the pair can recover over the international break and be back to full fitness in time for the Manchester derby on September 14. If not, it\u2019s likely Mainoo will see his game time increased in the absence of his teammates.<\/p>\n

Mainoo\u2019s desire to embark on a new venture<\/a> arose in the aftermath of last week\u2019s draw to Fulham, which marked the second consecutive Premier League game that he had not featured for a single minute.<\/p>\n

He did go on to play the full 90 minutes plus penalties against Grimsby Town in the midweek Carabao Cup encounter, but was again benched when league action resumed.<\/p>\n

That was until Mount was taken off at the interval and the 20-year-old was called upon to replace him in the second half \u2013 although you\u2019d have to question whether Mainoo would\u2019ve played at all had United not suffered any injury setbacks.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the 10-capped England international, who\u2019s missed out on a national team call-up this time around, is contracted to United until 2027, plus the option of an additional 12 months.<\/p>\n
