Why there could be a twist in the saga surrounding Kobbie Mainoo's Man United future, writes CHRIS WHEELER, as £74m star endures another tough outing in 3-2 win over Burnley

Manchester United escaped double embarrassment this week thanks to Bruno Fernandes' late penalty against Burnley.

United twice threw away the lead against their newly promoted opponents, before Bruno Fernandes saved the day with a last-gasp winner from the spot - just days after their humiliating Carabao Cup defeat at the hands of League Two Grimsby Town.

With the 3-2 triumph, Amorim's strugglers earned their first win of the new campaign and temporarily moved his side into top half ahead of the international break.

Mainoo twist?

Kobbie Mainoo was back on the bench after making his first appearance of the season at Grimsby, but first-half injuries to Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount could provide a twist in the saga surrounding the midfielder’s future.
