The contract has not been renewed, the rumors of leaving are increasingly appearing, and now it is time for MU to make a decision about Mainoo. Should the "Red Devils" keep the English midfielder at all costs or face the risk of losing a new generation talent?

MU does not have much time left with Mainoo. |
Worrying signal
Despite securing a place in the first team, contract negotiations between Mainoo and MU have stalled. This has fans worried that the club has not truly recognized his value? Or worse, are they willing to listen to offers if a European giant comes knocking?
Mainoo is not a muscular midfielder, but he is intelligent in his movement, reading space and controlling the game. He often drops deep to play the ball, withstands pressure well, controls the rhythm effectively and defends with composure rather than trickery. He is the model midfielder that modern football is looking for, a true regista, the silent architect who controls the midfield.
In fact, Mainoo is said to be a good fit for coach Ruben Amorim. Amorim's 3-4-3 system requires two central midfielders who are both technically skilled and intelligent. Mainoo is perfectly capable of playing the role of link between defence and attack, similar to the way Joao Palhinha played under Amorim at Sporting.
Mainoo can hold the game in transition, helping to maintain control in midfield. He is not the type of player who dives into tackles constantly, but he is good at reading situations, winning the ball and disrupting the rhythm of opponents. In addition, Mainoo can play both as a defensive holding midfielder and a box-to-box midfielder, a versatility that is extremely important in Amorim's dynamic system.

MU may have a hard time finding a second Mainoo. |
Stay or go?
If he stays, Mainoo could be at the heart of a new era under Amorim. Not only will he help shape the team's modern style of play, he will also be a symbol of the legacy of the MU youth academy.
If he leaves, it will be a loss in terms of personnel, and at the same time, a heavy blow to the fans' trust in the club's development policy. A rare talent like Mainoo, calm, technical, with a top-notch football mindset, is not easy to find again, especially when the transfer market is increasingly chaotic.
MU has two options if he leaves. At that time, the "Red Devils" will be forced to spend a large amount of money on a similar name, or speed up the process for Dan Gore to step into the light, even though he has not reached the maturity of Mainoo at present.
Mainoo is at a crossroads, and so are United. Under Amorim, this is a golden opportunity to fully develop the England international. But without a clear commitment, both in terms of role and trust, Mainoo could choose to leave and it would be a huge loss.
Mainoo's talent, composure and footballing mind make him one of the gems at Carrington. It is up to United to put their faith and build a future around the golden boy.
For those who love the red shirt, Mainoo is a new symbol of rebirth. He is expected to become the "pulse" in the midfield, like Scholes or Carrick. But for that to become a reality, MU must act before everything becomes too late.
