Kobi menu There is not one for large outbreaks of emotions, so that when he waved his arms to pump the crowd during the euro 2024, England Team companions in the dressing room later.
The common essence of jokes was: “What is in you?”
For many coaches who have worked with the menu during their career, it is further closed on the pitch that has separated them. This tells you, then, the decision to ask his decision Manchester United In the last days of the transfer window, the loan was not taken in a mild to the loan step.
The menu and his representatives pushed to talk to Ruben Amorim and Football Director Jason Wilcox as it is concerned that the lack of play is stopping their development and putting their place at risk in the next summer World Cup. Injuries have certainly been a factor, but since the appointment of Amorim in November, the 20 -year -old midfielder has made only 12 out of 30 of United. Premier League game. So far this season, it is limited to 90 minutes in shock Karabao Cup Get out of Grimbi Town and against 45 minutes BurnleyIt was a little surprised that when Thomas Tuchel named his latest England squad last week, there was no place for a 20 -year -old child.
12 months ago, the menu was seen as a future for both United and England. Now on the fringe for both the club and the country, he is facing a moment of the first intersection of his promising career.
Kobi’s rise and menu-soul
The world began to wake up for the menu in February 2023, when the cameras captured the rivals and caught the last ceremony of the Karbao Cup after time-manager Eric Ten Haag. Manchester City There is a cool word with relatively unknown teenager.

The menu made her senior debut as 17-year-old last January and in Vambali, Ten Haag was busy telling her that even though she did not make a bench to win 2–0 over Newcastle, “The time would come.”
Dutchman was right. In July, Menu acted against a Presiden Friendly Arsenal in New York. In November, he started his Premier League Everton In Gudison Park and Man-Off-the-Match was named. Till December, he was a regular in the team and from Boxing Day 2023 to the FA Cup final against Manchester City in May 2024, he failed to start one of the 26 matches of only United.
During the run, Menu scored memorable goals against wolves-Net a stop-time winner after a meji run-and against LiverpoolWhich came through a fantastic touch and curl finish inside the remote post. He performed a demonstration with a performance for a goal with a goal against the city in the cup final, which helped England boss Gareth Southgate to convince him to stay in the team for the Euro despite receiving his first Under -21 call -up in March.
Many people in United realized what he always predicted.

Did Manchester United give the right to take lemense on Martinez in the target?
Gab Markoti and Julian Laurence analyzed the Manchester United’s decision to sign the Sen Lamine as a new goalkeeper on Emiliano Martinez.
In a club of the nine -year -old, the menu was a regular for the Under -18 at just 16 years of age. He was the second youngest member of the team winning FA Youth Cup in 2022, including a group. Alejandro GarnachoIn summer of 2023, midfielders Charlie Savez And Stubborn Iqbal – Both old and, in principle, more experienced- was allowed to be left in part as the menu was already ahead in their development. There was even a point on which United had to work hard to keep the menu out of Manchester City’s fist, which was during his push to sweep the best young players in the region.
The United improved their youth structure, and the fact that the menu stopped, was held as the evidence that the Rivamp was working. After breaking up in the first team and England set-up, he is an academy success story.
On 2024 Presiden Tour, Tom Heton – Euro 2024 and another United Academy Graduate and England coach- told ESPN that the menu would “be a major part of this football club for a long time.” It was unimaginable, then, after a year there will be serious questions on how long he can live.
Great under amorim
The menu started two of Amorim’s first four league sports as the Portuguese coach took time to see every player inherited from ten hags closely. Since then, he is mostly frozen.
A part of the problem is the 3-4-3 system of Amorim and where the menu fits. He has been tried as one of the two deep midfielders and number 10. He is also played as a false nine. It was reporting that at the end of the last season, the menu did not start one of the Europea League knockout games of United. In the final against Tottenham, he was thrown for the last minute.
The sources tell ESPN that the menu started worrying about its joint future in early January. After the emergence of the stories, he sought advice from a former player that the club would be open to offers for both him and Garnacho in the January window as an academy graduate would help his PSR position. But it was only towards the end of the summer window that he was so worried about the lack of sports time that he requested a step.
Sources close to the menu have dismissed the suggestions that they permanently asked to leave and insisted that he was only looking for a temporary step that could help back to Tuchal’s England’s thinking. One debt step Napoli The map was and United said that no, although there is a possibility that it could be revived in January if the menu situation has not changed. United will require a replacement, which is always difficult to do the middle season.
All this uncertainty is being played against the background of a contract stand-off.
Mainoo signed a new deal in 2023, which connects it to Old Trafford by 2027, with a club-organized option by 2028. Initial talks were held after Euro 2024 to discuss the increment to reflect its increased position in the tournament. GermanyHowever, those dialogues have stopped keeping a close watch on the bill under the leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe along with the new regime.

Long United Record in Danger
The status of the menu has inspired widespread questions about the Academy of United.
For more than 85 years, the club has graduated at least one academy in the Match Day Squad for every senior game, one run of more than 4,300 matches was dating back on October 1937. When United celebrated the 4,000th game against Everton in December 2019, there were seven academy graduates in Squad -. Marcus rashford, Scott mercetminJessie Lingard, Mason Greenwood, Axle Tuanzebe, Andreas Perera And Brandon WilliamsTo win 3–2 over Bernley just before the international break, it was just a flag-blowing menu.
Each joint manager is told during the interview process that the job is “winning the trophy, attacking football and promoting players from the academy.” Amorim may probably face a backlash from fans if he was the manager to give a record slip, although he can argue that the profit and stability (PSR) rule, which encourages teams on their homegron players, has reduced his options: Dean hendersonScott Mactmin, Anthony Alanga And Alvaro Fernandez Carrace can all be in the first team squad, he did not leave before his appointment.
Nevertheless, while Amorim fights to improve his record after a difficult start for his reign, he does not want to be the first manager in about nine decades to choose a squad without an academy player. If the menu departs, he can take a piece of history of United with him.
