The Bangladesh Cricket Match crowd, always quick to spot a story about wasted potential, has turned its attention to Old Trafford — where another young talent seems ready to walk away. Kobbie Mainoo, once billed as Manchester United’s next midfield cornerstone, has had enough. He’s barely played this season, and now ten clubs are lining up to offer him something Amorim won’t — minutes.

United have improved on paper, climbing from last year’s mid-table mess to a position that at least looks respectable. But numbers don’t tell the full story. The Portuguese manager has a clear system in mind, and it hasn’t been kind to the 19-year-old. Just 138 minutes in the Premier League — that’s all he’s had. It’s the kind of drought that drives any ambitious player to the edge. Think of a BD Cricket Match player sitting through an entire series with his pads still on, never called to bat — you stop feeling like part of the game.

Last summer, Mainoo already had admirers. Napoli were interested, and a few Premier League rivals tested the waters, but United blocked the door, insisting his time would come. It didn’t. Now, those same clubs have returned — and this time, they smell opportunity. One source close to the player summed it up neatly: “They stopped him once. They won’t stop him again.”

Napoli are leading the pack, offering a move that promises playing time, a calmer environment, and Champions League football. Behind them, Chelsea and Tottenham are keeping watch. Newcastle too. Even Manchester City have quietly checked in — ironic, considering their local rivalry. Further afield, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid are studying the situation with interest.

For Atlético, the move could solve two problems at once. Conor Gallagher’s potential exit would leave a gap in midfield, and Mainoo’s energy fits Diego Simeone’s blue-collar philosophy perfectly. United would hate to see him thrive elsewhere, but the financial incentive is obvious: as an academy graduate, any fee goes down as pure profit. The accountants would call it smart business. The fans might call it short-sighted.

What makes this story sting is how ordinary it feels. United have seen this movie before — young player full of promise, lost in a crowded squad, eventually making his name somewhere else. Amorim has done plenty right since arriving, but this decision could haunt him. Mainoo doesn’t just want playing time; he wants purpose.

In football — as in BD Cricket Match — time is the cruelest opponent. Sit on the bench long enough and even talent starts to rust. January is coming fast, and for once, the outcome feels certain: Mainoo won’t wait anymore.
