Kobbie Mainoo OUT of Man United's squad to face Aston Villa following tumultuous week for out-of-favour academy star

The Kobbie Mainoo saga has taken another twist after the unhappy Manchester United midfielder was ruled out of today’s game at Aston Villa having picked up a calf injury in training.

Mainoo was in contention to make his first Premier League start of the season following 11 appearances off the bench after Casemiro was suspended for the game at Villa Park.

But sources revealed that the 20-year-old sustained a small injury at Carrington on Saturday and he has been left out of Ruben Amorim’s squad, with Manuel Ugarte taking Casemiro’s place.
