Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has advised Manchester United’s incoming manager, Ruben Amorim, to ensure that the club does not part ways with promising youngster Kobbie Mainoo.
Mainoo has recently been the subject of transfer speculation, with reports suggesting he could be sold in the upcoming summer window to help United comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
However, Murphy believes Amorim should step in and persuade the club’s hierarchy to retain the young midfielder, emphasizing his potential to play a pivotal role in United’s future.
Writing in his Daily Mail column, Murphy described Mainoo as a highly talented player who can be a long-term asset for the team. He also encouraged Amorim to place more trust in the 20-year-old by assigning him a deeper midfield role and letting him take charge of defensive duties.
Murphy said, “I don’t see what [Ruben] Amorim sees when it comes to [Kobbie] Mainoo. I think Mainoo is more than capable of playing that defensive role, he just needs some help, leadership and guidance around him,” Murphy said.
“I understand the rumors around him and Alejandro Garnacho needing to be sold for PSR reasons but the equation is simple: are United blessed with an abundance of talented midfielders? No.”
He continued, “Mainoo and Garnacho are two talented, hungry players capable of having a big impact for United over the next five years or more, whether that is under Amorim or any other manager.
“If I was Amorim, I would be talking to Mainoo, talking to my bosses, and making sure he stayed. I would still be shocked to see him leave in the summer.”
