Danny Murphy Criticizes Man United for Considering the Sale of Kobbie Mainoo
Former Premier League player Danny Murphy has criticized Manchester United’s plans to sell star midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. He urges manager Ruben Amorim to ensure the deal never goes through.
Murphy believes the club should not focus on making a profit from the young talent. Also, he emphasized that they will soon need to find another player of Mainoo’s caliber.
He suggested that Amorim trust Mainoo in a defensive role, and provide the right leadership and guidance to help him thrive. According to Murphy, selling Mainoo would be a major mistake for United.
In an article for Daily Mail, Murphy explained, “Mainoo is more than capable of playing in a defensive role, but he needs the right support around him. He shouldn’t be limited to just one style of play because his versatility is a huge asset.”
He also pointed out that despite rumors about Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho possibly being sold for financial reasons, United is not overflowing with talented midfielders.
“Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are nearing the end of their careers. They let Scott McTominay go. Mainoo is the kind of player United would be eager to sign if they didn’t already have him,” Murphy said.
He further argued that selling Mainoo would only cost the club more in the long run. This is due to them having to spend significant money to replace him.
“Mainoo and Garnacho are two hungry, talented players who can make a big impact at United for the next five years or more. If I were Amorim, I’d make sure Mainoo stays,” Murphy added. He also expressed shock at the idea of Mainoo leaving. This is particularly after his crucial goal against Lyon in the Europa League, which helped secure United’s semifinal spot.
Real Madrid’s outgoing manager Carlo Ancelotti has sent a clear message to Barcelona following their LaLiga title win this season. While he acknowledged that Barcelona played well and fully deserved the championship, Ancelotti warned that next season will not be the same.
Speaking about the season, the 65-year-old praised Hansi Flick’s Barcelona for their quality football and solid performance. “Barcelona did very well this season. They played good football and deserved to win the league,” he said.
However, Ancelotti was quick to add that things will change in the upcoming season, hinting at a tougher challenge ahead for the Catalan club. Ancelotti is set to leave Real Madrid soon to become the head coach of Brazil’s national team.
Before he departs, he will manage Madrid in two final matches against Sevilla and Real Sociedad. The Italian coach leaves Real Madrid as the club’s most successful manager, having won 15 trophies across two spells.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has publicly encouraged Kevin De Bruyne to consider joining the Reds this summer. De Bruyne is set to leave Manchester City when his contract expires in June, and he has hinted that he’s open to playing for another Premier League club. While there’s been talk of interest from Major League Soccer in the US, Salah made it clear that Liverpool would welcome the Belgian midfielder with open arms.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Salah praised De Bruyne’s career and his impact on English football. “I want to say congratulations on an incredible career,” Salah said. “He’s done amazing work at City and has been a key player for the league.” With Liverpool now Premier League champions, fans will be eager to see if De Bruyne takes up Salah’s invitation and joins the fight at Anfield.
