Likely to avoid serious issue
Mainoo (undisclosed) is not believed to be dealing with a considerable injury, with his return from international duty possibly due to load management, per Oli Gent of The Standard.
Analysis: Mainoo has had enough time to rest and recover from any fitness issues he could have picked up prior to the long international break. He'll consequently be expected to stay put as part of United's main defensive midfielders alongside Youri Tielemans, leaving Carlos Baleba and Andrey Santos on the bench for future fixtures. While he has provided one assist over six league or European matches this season, the 21-year-old is usually more reliable for his high passing numbers and diverse defensive contributions.
Withdraws from international duty
Mainoo will miss England's upcoming Nations League matches after withdrawing from the squad due to an unspecified issue, according to the club.
Analysis: Mainoo will use the international break to recover from an unspecified issue after starting each of Manchester United's last four Premier League matches. The midfielder has scored once and created seven chances during that four-match run, establishing himself as a regular part of manager Michael Carrick's midfield. He'll hope to be available against Tottenham on Oct. 10, when Carlos Baleba could provide increased competition for his starting role.
