The Daily Mail reported that Manchester United midfielder Maynu reiterated his desire to leave the team on loan.
Although Manchester United said that Menu must stay in the team to compete for a position, the player will still reiterate his desire to leave Manchester United on loan. Coach Amorin has made it clear to 20-year-old Menu that he currently needs to compete directly with captain Bruno Fernandez for a midfielder seat, and in this competition, Menu seems to be difficult to win.
In Manchester United's 60 games last season, Bruno Fernandez played 57 games and was the core player in Amorin's tactical plan. Although Maynu started in the England League Cup on Wednesday, the team's exit means the most realistic way for the youngster to get playing time, either as a substitute or topped off when Bruno Fernandez was injured.
This type of selection model actually appeared in the second half of last season, which eventually led to Menu's failure to be selected for the Europa League final list against Tottenham. In fact, he has only won eight starters in the league since the beginning of this year.
Worse, he has not yet made the roster of England coached by Tuchel and cannot compete in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia. The England coach made it clear that Maynu needs enough playing time to qualify for the team.
It is reported that Menu had communicated with Manchester United on Thursday, saying that due to career considerations, he hopes to get more regular first-team appearances through loan. But Manchester United rejected his request and insisted that a replacement must be found before it can be released.
Amorin is aware of Menu's request for departure. He did not communicate with the players in person on Friday, but he said at a press conference: "I hope Menu stays. He needs to fight for his position, and we need Menu too. This will not change. As for how the situation will develop in the future, I am not sure. I understand that players who cannot play at this stage will be disappointed, but everyone has an equal opportunity to play. The key is to work hard in a week of training."
However, with only the last few days left in the transfer window, Menu is still determined to leave. Despite his deep affection for his parent team Manchester United, he still longs for more regular playing time, especially as World Cup year is approaching.
In addition, Manchester United's position is further complicated by Maynu's unrenewal. As early as February this year, the two parties reached an oral consensus on the terms of the new contract, but more than six months have passed, the contract has not been formally submitted to Menu or his agent. Some Champions League teams have noticed this situation, and some teams have inquired about loans from Menu, and are also exploring the possibility of permanent transfers.
