Kobbie Mainoo misses Manchester United ’s Premier League clash with Leeds United tonight due to a minor injury.
The 20-year-old has been ever-present in the United starting XI again under Michael Carrick having been frozen out of the team for the first-half of the campaign under Ruben Amorim .
But the midfielder’s run of games for his club comes to an end tonight, left out of the squad with Manuel Ugarte taking his place in midfield alongside Casemiro .
Reports suggest Mainoo’s absence is due to a minor injury with Michael Carrick expected to provide a further update later this evening.
The midfielder played for England during the international break and was part of the United squad that travelled over to Kildare, Ireland for a training camp last week.
He has started all 10 games since Carrick took the reins in January, playing the full 90 minutes on each of those occasions except for the defeat to Newcastle United.
