He returned to team training on Saturday, and has impressed coaches with his dedication and professionalism.<\/p>\n
\u201cStaff within the club have been extremely impressed with Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s professionalism and his attitude to training this season.<\/p>\n
Mainoo back in training<\/p>\n
\u201cThe midfielder was out with a knock in the Red Devil\u2019s last game against Tottenham Hotspur. Kobbie Mainoo has returned to group training today and is now in contention to return to the Manchester United squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he does end up making the squad, his return will be seen as a positive amongst United fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Englishman is yet to start a single Premier League game this campaign, and due to his lack of minutes, he has lost his place in the national team.<\/p>\n
The Carrington graduate is keen to play in next year\u2019s World Cup, which is why he had asked to leave in the summer. INEOS had turned down his request back then<\/a>.<\/p>\n United cannot afford to lose him<\/p>\n Should the situation not improve, the 20-year-old is expected to ask to leave in January as well. There are multiple clubs<\/a> chasing his signature.<\/p>\n Napoli are the frontrunners, but they are eyeing a loan with an obligation while the Red Devils will only sanction a dry loan<\/a> as they do not want to lose the talented midfielder.<\/p>\n A meeting<\/a> between the co-owners and Kobbie Mainoo is expected, and should he leave, the 20-time English league champions will need to find alternatives in the market.<\/p>\n Hopefully, that does not come to pass and Amorim finds space for him in the playing XI. The departures of Amad and Bryan Mbeumo for AFCON could open up a slot.<\/p>\n Feature image Alex Livesey via Getty Images<\/p>\n The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
