Steve Kay<\/a><\/p>\n Updated: 4 Sept 2025 07:13 BST Manchester United<\/a> manager Ruben Amorim has been left furious with the situation at Old Trafford following the summer transfer window, particularly regarding the situation with Kobbie Mainoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n Article continues under the video<\/p>\n FootballTransfers understands that Amorim has been left frustrated that Mainoo\u2019s request for a loan move away was rejected by the club\u2019s hierarchy, with the Portuguese having aimed to bring in a midfielder of his own.<\/p>\n Atletico Madrid<\/a> star Conor Gallagher<\/a> was the player wanted by Amorim to bolster his options in the middle of the field, with the former Chelsea star seen as a more tenacious and mobile alternative in the heart of the field for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n The coach was told prior to the transfer deadline that Mainoo would be remaining with the squad and that no new player would be drafted in.<\/p>\n Gallagher has been a long-time target for Amorim and Man Utd<\/a>. The club chased him as far back as January but were told that no deal was possible at that stage and to revisit the move in the summer.<\/p>\n By the time the Red Devils asked Diego Simeone\u2019s side about the player late in the window, they were told that a loan deal was not possible. United were unable and unwilling to fund a permanent move.<\/p>\n Mainoo, meanwhile, had been eager for a loan move away from Old Trafford after Ruben Amorim has made it clear that he is only an alternative pick to Bruno Fernandes in the heart of the field.<\/p>\n The young England international fears that he may be out of the spotlight in the run up to the 2026 World Cup and is eager for first-team football to ensure that his game develops as he feels it should.<\/p>\n With no European football and United already out of the Carabao Cup, opportunities could be limited for the youngster to get regular game time. <\/p>\n Amorim is displeased that he has been left with a player who had made it clear he did not want to be with Man Utd this summer, particularly when Gallagher was seen as a possible signing.<\/p>\n Football transfer news headlines today<\/p>\n The summer\u2019s most EMBARRASSING transfer blunder?
