Man United's Mainoo Future Uncertain

Despite being restored to the starting lineup under new manager Michael Carrick, the England midfielder's long-term future at Old Trafford remains up in the air. The 20-year-old was frozen out under former boss Ruben Amorim, which complicated contract talks, though his return to prominence has strengthened his negotiating position.

According to reports, Mainoo agreed to a salary compromise but didn't hear back from United until Amorim was fired in January. There are still unresolved issues between his representatives and club officials, with Mainoo earning significantly less than many teammates.
