Mainoo MAN UTD game time to be reduced amid new fear.๐จ โ๏ธ This is signal bad news for Man United sensation. How could Ten Hag make this drastic decision…๐ก๐๐
Manchester United is reportedly monitoring Kobbie Mainoo’s playing time closely over the next two weeks. The 19-year-old midfielder has been heavily involved in Unitedโs Premier League campaign, starting all four matches and missing only six minutes after being subbed off in the opener against Fulham.
According to CROWNED STAR, the club plans to give Mainoo some rest during this period to avoid overworking him early in what is expected to be a demanding season. The team is cautious of the potential for burnout, especially with the packed schedule ahead.
Manager Erik ten Hag is likely to rotate Mainoo more often in the upcoming games to keep him in top shape. Mainoo, who broke into the first team last season, has also become a regular for England during Euro 2024, giving him limited recovery time this year.
Manchester United is expected to carefully manage his workload, considering his recent playing demands. During their recent 7-0 EFL Cup win over Barnsley, Mainoo was on the bench but didnโt make an appearance, further indicating the clubโs strategy to keep a close watch on his minutes.
Mainoo is set to frequently partner with Manuel Ugarte in the midfield, although Unitedโs depth in this position allows ten Hag more options for rotation. With seasoned players like Christian Eriksen and Casemiro available, along with Mason Mount nearing a return from injury, Unitedโs midfield is well-equipped.
Last season, Mainoo played 35 matches across all competitions for United and appeared six times for England in Euro 2024. His performances have cemented his place in both teams, but with his heavy workload, the club is focused on ensuring he stays fit and impactful throughout the season.
Unitedโs next match is on Saturday, September 21, away against Crystal Palace. It will be intriguing to see how ten Hag handles Mainooโs role as the team navigates a busy fixture list while prioritizing the long-term fitness of one of their brightest young players.
