Kobbie Mainoo’s former Man UTD teammate Phil Jones claims that England International is likely to “force a move” from Old Trafford in January.
The Red Devils mixed up to match the new Premier League season, winning 2-1 with Chelsea scoring seven points from the opening five games.
Reuben Amorim was under pressure after a 3-0 loss to Man City a week ago, but the victory over the Blues gave him some breathing chambers.
Despite spending more than £200 million over the summer, Man UTD did not significantly link to Brighton’s mid-date issues with Carlos Valleva to Old Trafford.
Despite Man Utd having a hard time balancing in the middle, Mainoo was unable to earn a lot of game time under Amorim.
Amorim sparked a lot of drama towards the end of the transfer window when Maine publicly proposed to compete with Bruno Fernandez for the start of the berth this season.

It led to Mineu, who wanted regular football before the World Cup, searching for loan moves with a man who was personally unhappy, calling it a “silly and unnecessary move.”
And former Man UTD defender Jones believes Mainoo will demand a move in the January transfer window if he is still out of the team at that time.
Jones said at Stadium Astro:
“He absolutely bossed the game. He was great that night. It was a mature performance and he continued the season.

“It looks like a moment when he’s no longer liked. The manager has already come out and said he’s not going to play with Bruno. You’re not going to get rid of Bruno in the form he’s in.
“He’s going to find it difficult for the game. I’m sure he’s trying to force a loan move if he doesn’t have time for the game he likes by Christmas and January.”
Last week, there were reports that Man Utd had “offered” to Federico Valverde on Real Madrid, offering Mainoo as a make-up grade for the deal.
Man Utd ‘We want to improve our midfield and recognize Madrid’s interest in Mainoo, so we “we are happy to offer Valverde’s swap deals and add 50 million transfer fees.”
