When he hoped to leave Manchester United on loan to get more playing time, Kobbie Mainoo (20 years old) was denied this possibility by the Red Devils. At a time when the injuries of Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha offer him a chance to start during the Manchester derby, coach RĂşben Amorim claims to believe the potential of the English international, while believing that he must do more to win in an environment where competition is tough.
“Like many players, he wants to play moresaid the Portuguese coach. I hadn't had a conversation with him before closing the transfer window, but I had it this week. Because I don't want Kobbie Mainooo to think I'm just talking to him to hold him back. I believe a lot in Kobbie, but some of you think Kobbie Mainoo is already there. I think he can do much better, he can improve on a lot. I think that for some players, it is enough, but for him, it is not enough. Maybe it's not fair, but I think I help Kobbie Mainooo and that's it. He will have opportunities like the others. »» Mainoo had become a executive of the Mancunian team under the orders of Erik Ten Hag, but it is sometimes left out in the Amorim system.
