Manchester United intend to reject any bids to buy Kobbie Mainoo in January because the hierarchy believe the midfielder could have a bright future at the club.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim is open to the 20-year-old going on loan<\/a> after not naming him in a Premier League starting XI all season. The view within the hierarchy is that Mainoo\u2019s youth and potential mean his ceiling remains high and that he could convince Amorim \u2013 or a future United head coach \u2013 he is worth a regular place.<\/p>\n

Preparing for Monday\u2019s game against Bournemouth at Old Trafford Amorim said Mainoo could \u201cin the future\u201d be used as a holding player after previously indicating the academy product was vying solely for the No 8 position occupied by the captain, Bruno Fernandes.<\/p>\n

United are on the best run of Amorim\u2019s 13-month tenure, with one defeat in nine league matches, a sequence that vindicates his selection and tactics. Sir Jim Ratcliffe said in October that Amorim would be given three years<\/a> to demonstrate his capabilities.<\/p>\n

Amorim has said any out-of-favour player can win a place through performances in training and United do not wish to make a hasty decision to sell Mainoo. Amorim was asked whether he rated Mainoo as a top-class footballer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, like everyone else,\u201d he said. \u201cCasemiro is the biggest example [of him changing his mind]. He was behind Toby [Collyer, now on loan at West Brom] and now he\u2019s a star.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United intend to reject any bids to buy Kobbie Mainoo in January because the hierarchy believe the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-192960","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
