20-year-old England international Kobbie Mainoo has informed Manchester United that he wants to leave to get more playing time.
The Stockport-born has yet to make a single minute in the two Premier League games the Red Devils have played so far this season.
After the club’s 1-1 draw at Fulham last Sunday, Amorim revealed that the youngster is in a competition with club captain Bruno Fernandes for a position in his double pivot role.
The Portuguese manager’s comments were shocking, considering the natural positions of the players.
On Wednesday in the EFL Cup, where the Red Devils were eliminated on penalties by fourth-tier side Grimsby, Amorim gave a rare start to the English midfielder, and he shone.
It is unknown which club exactly is willing to take Mainoo on loan, but reports say that clubs from England and the rest of Europe are weighing up their options.
Saudi Arabian club Al Nasr has reportedly shown interest in Mainoo.
