Kobbie Mainoo’s brother wore a ‘Free Kobbie Mainoo’ t-shirt to Monday’s game against Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

Jordan Mainoo-Hames, the midfielder’s half-brother, posted a picture to his Instagram story, showing him right next to the pitch.

Mainoo was giving a raucous reception from the home fans as he came on as a substitute in the 4-4 draw and remains a fan favourite.

Before the game, Ruben Amorim says he is open to speaking to Mainoo about his Manchester United future if the midfielder still wants to leave on loan in January.

The 20-year-old, who requested a temporary switch in the summer, is yet to start a Premier League game this season, despite the United head coach saying he views the academy graduate “as a starter like the other players” after the 4-1 win at Wolves.

Mainoo started for England in the Euros final in July 2024 but his lack of playing time has left him out of the picture under Thomas Tuchel, with reports claiming he wants to join Napoli on loan to get into the World Cup squad.
