Manchester United fans are concerned after footage of Kobbie Mainoo emerged on social media following the club's draw against Fulham.

Man United registered their first point of the new Premier League season after coming away from Craven Cottage with a draw.

The visitors took the lead in the second-half when Rodrigo Muniz converted into his own net from a corner.

Emile Smith Rowe levelled proceedings in the 73rd minute to secure his side a point.

After the final whistle, Mainoo, who didn't come on against Fulham, worried Man United fans, who delivered a telling verdict on his future following the game.

A video shows Mainoo looking frustrated and dejected, having not played a part of his team's opening two league fixtures this season.

Needless to say, the clip went viral online as Man United fans made their feelings known on the matter.


One X user wrote: "He’s 100% going, look at him."

A second added: "We can’t let Mainoo leave, too."

A third claimed: "Mainoo will outlast Amorim!!"

Another commented: "People were saying "It's 1 game". Amorim's literally played every first team midfielder EXCEPT Mainoo."

Ruben Amorim explains why Kobbie Mainoo didn't play against Fulham

Mainoo was yet again an unused substitute against Fulham after failing to come on against Arsenal in the opening weekend.

In his post-match press conference, Amorim told reporters that the 20-year-old didn't come on because he's competing with captain Bruno Fernandes.

"He’s fighting for the position now with Bruno," Amorim said of the young midfielder. "And I change two midfielders. I let Mason Mount [play] there because we want to score a goal and when I changed I felt the team need to return to one holding midfielder near Bruno.

"So he (Mainoo) just needs to fight for the position with Bruno, as [it] should be at Manchester United. [Sometimes] he’s going to play with Bruno, but at the moment he’s fighting in training with Bruno for the position."

Mainoo played 37 games across all competitions last season, including 25 league appearances.

He could feature when the Red Devils face Grimsby in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
