He returned to the training pitch last week but Sunday’s derby against Manchester City came too soon.
Now, the midfielder is gearing up for Thursday’s Europa League clash with Lyon at the Groupama Stadium.
Mainoo was spotted in training on Wednesday morning.
And some fans believe the 19-year-old has built up some muscle.
One person took to X to write: “Damn, bro was bulking up hard while away.”
Another commented: “Is it me or does it look like he’s packed on more muscle?”
A third wrote: “Definitely has put on some muscle.”
While a fourth said: “He’s been in the gym then.”

Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim revealed at the weekend that Mainoo could make a return to action this week.
He explained: “Kobbie Mainoo is training with us, we want to be careful, again, with our players, but maybe he’s going to be in our squad.”
The United head coach also revealed that Harry Maguire will be available despite being hauled off in the 58th minute against City.
He said: “Harry Maguire just had 60 minutes allowed from the medical department to play, so he’s fit and ready to go. So we need to be careful on this.
“No, it’s not an injury, it’s just [that] we had a time that we could use Harry without any danger.
“We cannot lose any more players, we have to try to divide the moments between the players. We have a really important game on Thursday.”
