We all know how much we are struggling, and that includes Mainoo, but I still believe he is a class player and hopefully the current situation is just part of the learning curve.
We all felt that Bruno needing dropping - well that's kind of what we have, maybe not the ideal way to get it though!
I would love to see Mainoo play in more advanced role for next 3 league games, I think his movement and keeping things simple will help link up play better. This would mean maybe Cas and Ugarte in the middle, but what we got to lose? Amad must start, and if I am honest neither Rashford or Garnacho are impressing me much - but it shows how bad they can be that Antony wouldn't even be considered a starter.
I doubt ETH will try above - I see Mainoo and Ugarte with maybe Eriksen, who is ETH's flavour of the month, in the Bruno role - I would prefer him there than as one of the midfield 2 tbf.
Mainoo

Probably worth a go, not sure he’s got what it takes creativity and passing wise, but only one way to find out.

Until you win something you sort of are. You're the complete opposite of us. You're a well coached functional machine that wins nothing. We are a total mess of a club and team with a manager that's managed to win more than Arteta in half the amount of time.
Banter era probably the wrong choice of words. Bottling era perhaps more apt for you until you win one of the big ones.

Lost his way a little since the Euros, but as GT points out Mainoo is still a young lad, he'll have his ups and downs so lack of consistency is expected. He is also playing for a club that's going through a rubbish period so standards are currently at an at time low.

Yeah we still have a lot of questions to answer in terms of winning stuff, but I don't think any team in the world would be grateful to draw us in a cup whereas under Wenger at the end we wouldn't have put fear in anyone apart from teams like Norwich

Kobbie Mainoo is 19 year old boy who will have his up and downs. He is playing in your first team for a long time now. He is the least player I would worry about.

We’d be better off playing Amad there. It’s a problem position given Bruno’s form and the lack of end product from the alternatives.

They are always trying to worry about him.

The current situation with Man Utd, Ten Hag and Mainoo reminds me of where Arsenal were with Emery and Guendouzi.
I’ll leave guys to fill in the gaps.

Doesn't look likely he'll be fit going by how he went off yesterday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, I actually forgot about thatJust hope it's not serious

Videos circulating on social media today would suggest he's done his hamstring. Few weeks at least.
