Manchester United youngster Kobbie Mainoo may change his position in the coming months.

The midfielder put in an assured display against Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.

After starting that 3-0 win, Mainoo came off the bench in a 3-3 draw in the Champions League against Galatasaray.

However, The Express states that Mainoo was primarily used further forward as a youth player.

He did play in central midfield, but was a more creative attacking midfielder for the Academy.

Whether he gets a chance in such a role at first team level is unclear, given there are fewer options for manager Erik ten Hag for defensive midfielders.
