"Free Kobbie Mainoo"- Brother of Man United star starts protest over lack of game time for English-Ghanaian midfielder

Jordan Mainoo-Hames, the senior brother of English-Ghanaian midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, has started a campaign to get the 20-year-old out of Manchester United.

Mainoo has struggled for game time under Ruben Amorim this season, failing to start a Premier League game in 16 matches.

The 20-year-old climbed of the bench to feature in the final 30 minutes of an enthralling game against AFC Bournemouth on Monday evening.

The Man United Academy graduate has been linked with a move away in January, with Napoli reportedly keenly monitoring his situation.

Despite being one of United's best player's on the night, it is unclear if his performance will convince Amorim to hand him more game time.

However, in show of support from his senior brother at Old Trafford, Jordan was spotted in a shirt which read 'Free Kobbie Mainoo.'

The Love Island star shared the photo of the moment on his Instagram story, which has since gone viral.

Earlier, United manager, Amorim, disclosed he opened to have talks with Mainoo over his situation.

"First of all, I say the same thing: the team comes first,' he said before the game.

"If Kobbie comes to me and talks to me, I will talk to him. I'm not going to say what I'm going to say to Kobbie, but I will be really pleased if Kobbie is coming to talk to me about that.

"I just want my players happy, and I understand that every individual has their goals. The frustration doesn't help anybody but, again, the focus is in this game and we will see if that happens."

Meanwhile, in the thrilling encounter, Ghana's Antoine Semenyo netted his seventh goal of the season.
