Manchester United s new star is unhappy when he is forced to stay with the team! After a year of decline, it is a foregone conclusion that he will miss the World Cup

When Manchester United plays Everton in their next game, coach Ruben Amorim will happen to celebrate the first anniversary of his first game against Ipswich. But this past year, there was nothing worth celebrating for Red Devils academy star Kobe Maynor. Maynor's first start in his Premier League career was against Everton, but this time he faced the "Toffees" and he seemed destined to sit on the bench again.

Before Amorim took over, Maynor missed 6 weeks due to injury, but he had recovered when the new coach arrived. Unfortunately, at Boseman Road Stadium, Maynor could only sit on the bench, and Amorim chose veterans Casemiro and Eriksen. It can be said that from the beginning, the 40-year-old Portuguese coach believed that this English genius was not suitable for his 343 tactics, which is the same as most people's views.
During Ten Hag's coaching period, starting from his first league start against Everton in November 2023, Maynor started 37 times in 52 Manchester United games. But in 55 games after Amorim took charge, he only started 16 times.
This season it is even more obvious. The only start for the 20-year-old Mayno was against the English League Two team Grimsby in the League Cup, and the team suffered an upset loss. After that, he has been waiting for a Premier League start and has not yet achieved it. Data shows that Meno played only 138 minutes in the league.
The youth training star promoted by Ten Hag, Garnacho has been sold, and Maynor has been left out in the cold, and it seems that he will leave sooner or later. However, he hopes to leave early, but the club wants to delay, which is likely to cause Manchester United's new star to miss the 2026 United States, Canada and Mexico World Cup.
Maynor played for England in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals of the 2024 European Cup, including starting in the final. He was so proud that he asked Manchester United to renew his contract with a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds. But the situation then took a turn for the worse. The last time Maynor was selected for the England team was in September 2024. New coach Tuchel has called the national team five times, and Maynor was not on the list each time.

Tuchel's midfield choices are Declan Rice and Elliott Anderson, with Adam Walton and Alex Scott as substitutes. Interestingly, the latter three are all potential signing targets for Manchester United next year, and may also replace Maynor at Manchester United in the future!
Before the end of the summer window, Maynor applied for a rental, but was rejected by Manchester United. The club and Amorim said that the team had a place for him, but he may not have expected that he had not made his first league start until November. Amorim explained: "It is also very difficult for me to let a player like Meno have such limited playing time. But I need more games to rotate. After all, there is only one game a week, so it is difficult to rotate reasonably. If he wants to play, I have to replace another player. And they all performed well. If there are more games, different management methods can be used. "
According to Amorin's arrangement, Meno needs to compete with Bruno Fernandez for a position in the 343 midfielder, and B Fee is not only the captain, but also an iron man, and he basically does not need to rest. In addition, Amorim has reasons not to choose Maynor. Data shows that in the Premier League this season, Maynor has only played for more than half an hour once. That was the game against Burnley in August. He came on as a substitute in the second half; his last appearance was against Brighton on October 25. He played for 20 minutes and had a significant effect. Unfortunately, it was not the effect that Amorim wanted.
Maynor and Patrick Dogu caused trouble for Manchester United together after being replaced in the 70th minute. The team led 3-0 when they came out, but at the end of 90 minutes, the score became 3-2. In the end, Mbemo scored in stoppage time to seal the victory.
"The Sun" revealed that Maynor, who used to be lively and cheerful, has now become a new generation of "unhappy". He was depressed when he arrived at the Carrington training ground and no longer smiled at Manchester United's official photographer. The club is still unwilling to rent out Meno in January, citing the departures of Mbemo, Amad Diallo and Mazrawi during the Africa Cup of Nations.

However, the African Cup of Nations, which opens on December 21, may not bring more game time to Meno, because the positions of the three teammates are not directly related to him. Unless Amorim arranges for B Fee to return to the No. 10 position, Maynor may enter the main lineup. But the Red Devils coach may not change the position like this. He needs to let B Fee adapt to the 343 midfield position, so it is more likely that Mason Mount or Zirkzee will play at the 10th position.
