Danny Murphy: 'Super' Mainoo will stay at Man Utd
Speaking to OLBG, former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy said: “Does Kobbie Mainoo exploring options away from Manchester United show how far the club has fallen? A little bit yes.
“United were one of the most successful clubs in Europe, winning trophies every season, then they're kind of everybody's desirable destination. So they didn't need to be worrying about getting players signed up on contracts. Everybody wanted to be there.
“They were in control, whereas now it's changed a bit. I think this particular scenario with Mainoo is just a little bit of to and fro.
“I'd be amazed if they were to let him go with the talent he's got.
“Don't get me wrong. I don't think any big club should be dictated to by an agent of a 19-year-old.
“I think if they are too greedy and too stupid with what they're asking after five minutes of fame, then let them go.
“There's other great players out there who want to play for Manchester United, but I don't think that's what this is.
“Paper talk is always there, but I think they'll get Mainoo tied down.
“I think he's a super talent and not a player they're going to want to be leaving. Not anytime soon.”
