Yeah he's an 8. Watched a thing a while back when Carsley was England manager exploring why we struggled so much towards the end with Southgate as neither Rice nor Mainoo were effective 6s.Bluebridge wrote: ↑Fri Dec 05, 2025 1:42 pm What is he actually, an 8? I always thought he was thought of as a 6.

Re: Kobbie Mainoo - Jan Loan
Is this just someone’s Christmas wishlist, or are there potential links?

There’s noise in the press today about Mainoo wanting a loan since he’s not getting game time under Amorim.Toddacelli wrote:Is this just someone’s Christmas wishlist, or are there potential links?
He’s linked with Napoli not us in the press but you’d think we’d be interested if it was possible and it’s probably a more sensible move for United

I can’t figure out what type of player he is whenever I watch him. Looks like he hasn’t been coached in about 4yrs. Just runs about doing stuff.

Re: Kobbie Mainoo - Jan Loan
Watched some analysis a few months back when we were linked more heavily, receiving the ball off the centre backs, turning and driving forward and linking the play. He can do it.
He was frustrated at lack of game time under Amorim and I think he's only played limited minutes since.
Amorim wants to keep him in reserve though.
Whilst not exactly the profile we need first up, I'd bite their hand off if it was a possibility.
