Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has quashed suggestions that Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee will be allowed to leave the club in January, although that’s not to say that the squad will remain intact this summer.
The out-of-favour pair were both heavily linked with exits over the recent transfer window. A glut of clubs were queuing up for Mainoo’s signature in particular, with everyone from Real Madrid to Tottenham Hotspur linked with the cerebral midfielder. Amorim ultimately came out to publicly insist that the academy graduate wasn’t going anywhere over the summer—and that stance has been extended to January.
