Kobbie Mainoo Sidelined as Manchester United's Midfield ...
Kobbie Mainoo remains benched for Manchester United, prompting fury from Paul Scholes as the team's midfield issues continue
inews.zoombangla.comHere’s the latest on Kobbie Mainoo’s playing status.
- Mainoo has been sidelined by a muscle-related issue, with club updates noting a short-term absence that keeps him out for several weeks rather than a long-term injury. This has caused him to miss recent appearances and training sessions as of the latest reports.[9]
- Several outlets in late 2024 and into 2025 repeatedly cited hamstring and muscle strain headlines tied to his injury lay-offs, with recovery timelines often described as “a matter of weeks” rather than months. These updates typically align with match-by-match selections under Erik ten Hag.[1][8]
- In late 2025 and early 2026, coverage shifted to ongoing squad competition for midfield roles, with Mainoo not being selected for certain fixtures due to tactical decisions or minor fitness considerations, rather than a fresh major injury.[3][6]
