The head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, has announced that Kobbie Mainoo is back in training and could be seen against the local rivals Manchester City on Sunday.
Mainoo has been out of the way with a muscular topic in the past two months and has robbed itself from a versatile midfielder that Amorim has repeatedly praised. In addition to a FA Cup exit to Fulham, the only victories of the Premier League in Mainoo were against the relegation against Ipswich Town and Leicester City.
United was beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest in the week and moderator Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend. Mainoo is very about the joy of many of United Lenaning viewers in the areas of the derby.
“Kobbie returns to training,” Amorim told reporters on Friday and urged caution in front of a player who had previously traveled five weeks in 2024 with a different muscle problem. “We will see and judge for this game. He cannot play a complete game, it was a long training session.”
Any commitment to Mainoo could be a boost for United, which is increasingly dependent on the creative influence of Bruno Fernandes. The city can also be careful before the engagement of the English international, after Mainoo United’s decisive second goal against Pep Guardiola’s team in the Triumphal FA Cup final last summer.
However, Amorim didn’t just have good news to deliver. “Matthijs [de Ligt] Has a problem, “revealed the Red Devils boss.” He has something he got during the game, we have to judge. The rest [of the squad] is normal. ”
De Ligt could be a significant absence. The Dutch defender has played every available minute of the last nine games from United in all competitions and offers a vague appearance of consistency in a backline that has been forced to make numerous changes.
The ACL tear at the end of the season at Lisandro Martinez caused Amorim to only accelerate the leading commitment of the Ayden Heaven for the 18-year-old in order to suffer an evil foot injury. Luke Shaw is also in training again, but unlike Mainoo, it is only expected in the second half of April.
Harry Maguire offers a natural alternative to de Ligt. However, if the stocky English international is installed in the middle of a baking-three flanked by Leny Yoro and Nussair Mazraoui, he cannot repeat his role as an emergency striker.
