Man Utd news LIVE: Red Devils confirm attacker exit as Ruben Amorim makes ‘crazy’ U-turn

Manchester United have decided against raising funds by cashing in on Kobbie Mainoo after their "crazy" plan to do so, according to former chief scout Mick Brown.

The Red Devils were reportedly willing to receive bids for the 20-year-old amid pressure to comply with PSR and FFP.

But Brown claims that it is no longer on the agenda.

“There are a number of players Man United want to get rid of,” he told Football Insider.

“From what I understand, Kobbie Mainoo is not one of them after a change of mind.

“The likes of Garnacho, Sancho and the others who have been left out of training in pre-season, that’s who the club are looking to raise money from.

“In my opinion, they should never have been considering letting Kobbie Mainoo go, it was a crazy idea.

“After he didn’t sign that new contract, it looked like he had decided he wanted to leave.

“That interest didn’t really come as heavily as they maybe expected, but I won’t complain about that.

“From what I hear, he’s going to be happy to stay into the new season and hopes he’ll be a bigger part of the team as Amorim is going to use him more regularly.“
