Manchester United continue to struggle for consistency, and Amorim is now facing heavy criticism over Kobbie Mainoo’s lack of playing time.
Details: Speaking at a press conference ahead of the next match, Amorim addressed questions about Mainoo and stated that he values the player. However, he stressed that training performances and matches are what matter most.
Quote: “Of course, I value Kobbie Mainoo. But in the end, the most important things are training and games. Of course, he is not playing many matches, but Kobbie has had opportunities, especially last year. Everyone did,” Amorim said.
The manager also responded to criticism from former Manchester United legends regarding Mainoo’s limited game time.
Quote: “Not winning is the issue. If I'm winning, I can go to the games on a horse, arrive there, play with just two defenders, and everything will be fine,” Amorim added.
Reminder: Manchester United’s young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has become the subject of intense speculation due to his limited playing time at Old Trafford.
