Heartbreaking image of Mainoo

Mainoo bows his head in disappointment after the draw with Fulham.

In the first two rounds of the 2025/26 Premier League, Mainoo was not used by coach Ruben Amorim. In the away match at Fulham on the night of August 24, Rodrigo Muniz scored an own goal to put MU ahead before Emile Smith Rowe equalized in the 73rd minute.

In the context of MU being in a deadlock, coach Amorim sent Manuel Ugarte to replace Casemiro. In contrast, Mainoo remained sitting on the bench. After the match, the camera captured the moment the young talent looked sad and bowed his head. Mainoo's image made MU fans angry.

"He will definitely leave, you can see that look in his eyes", "We can't let Mainoo leave", "Mainoo will stay at MU longer than Amorim", "It's hard to understand Mainoo"... are the common reactions of MU fans.

At the post-match press conference, coach Amorim explained: "Mainoo is in direct competition with Bruno Fernandes for a position. Today I changed two midfielders and left Mason Mount because I wanted to score. The team needs a defensive midfielder next to Bruno, so Mainoo has not had a chance yet."

Mainoo played 37 times in all competitions last season, including 25 in the Premier League. The youngster is expected to feature in the upcoming Carabao Cup tie against Grimsby, a chance to prove his worth as his future at Old Trafford begins to be questioned.
