There aren’t many players that Man United fans want to stay at Old Trafford, but one of them has started learning Spanish ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
The current season has been very underwhelming for Man United, with Ruben Amorim’s side currently sitting 13th in the Premier League table, having won just six of their 20 matches. The Red Devils are currently winless in their last five games and to change that form, additions may be needed in January.
Amorim has admitted that the English giants need to sell players before they buy and ahead of the January window it was reported that only six players in the current Red Devils squad are considered untouchable.
according to Florian PlettenbergKobbie Mainoo, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, Amad Diallo and Andre Onana will not be sold by the Premier League club in 2025.
Instead, Man United will look to sell players like Antonyalthough they may struggle to offload the Brazilian winger.
One concern for United fans ahead of the summer transfer window is that Mainoo started taking Spanish lessons last season, reports say. Manchester Evening News. Although, there is a perfectly good explanation for this.
Will Kobbie Mainoo leave Man United?
With Mainoo yet to sign a new contract at Man United, Chelsea are said to be monitoring the 19-year-old’s situation at Old Trafford, with the London club prepared to pounce if the pair fail to agree a deal.
Given this, the news that the youngster is learning Spanish may worry Manchester fans, as clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona would certainly be interested in the midfielder.
The report says the reason Mainoo is learning another language is so he can better communicate with the eight Spanish speakers in United’s current squad. This shows the England international’s desire to improve in all areas and could come in handy if one of the La Liga giants comes calling in the future.
