Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly leaving Manchester United and the Premier League following a heated altercation with manager Ruben Amorim during training earlier today.
The 19-year-old midfielder, who has been a bright spot for United in an otherwise dismal season, is claimed to be genuinely hurt and dismayed by Amorim’s statements, which insiders have described as “disrespectful and completely unnecessary.”
According to various sources, the two battled after training when Mainoo questioned the team’s tactical strategy. Amorim, apparently irritated, allegedly made remarks that left the boy in disbelief. The outstanding academy product was later seen leaving Carrington early, and insiders close to him suggest that he has already decided to leave the club in January.
“I’m not leaving for any other reason,” Mainoo reportedly informed teammates. “But after what he said to me today, there’s no going back. I’ve lost all respect for him.
Fans Outraged—Calls for Amorim’s Sack Grow Louder.
The aftermath immediately spread on social media, with supporters upset at the manager’s purported actions. Many supporters believe Amorim’s terrible management is tearing the dressing room apart.
“If he really said that to Mainoo, he should be gone by tomorrow morning!”
“Mainoo is the heart of this team — losing him would be a disgrace.”
“INEOS must act fast before this club collapses from the inside.”
Mainoo’s impending departure would be a huge blow to Manchester United, especially given his rising impact and connection with the fans. Many consider him as the club’s future, representing enthusiasm, energy, and youth.
With Amorim already under fire following a spate of unsatisfactory outcomes, this latest scandal could be the tipping point.
If Amorim truly said this, he deserves to be fired immediately
