Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has offered fresh comments on Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s situation, further intensifying speculation surrounding the midfielder\u2019s future at Old Trafford ahead of the January transfer window.<\/p>\n
Speaking in remarks shared by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Amorim acknowledged Mainoo\u2019s talent but hinted that game time must be earned on the training ground and during matches. \u201cOf course I rate Kobbie Mainoo. But in the end it\u2019s going to be the training, the games,\u201d Amorim said. He also added that while Mainoo has not featured regularly this season, the young midfielder has already been given chances, particularly last year.<\/p>\n
The comments come amid reports of an ongoing rift between Mainoo and Amorim, with sources suggesting the 19-year-old is unhappy with his reduced role under the Portuguese coach. Mainoo, who broke into the first team last season and impressed with his composure and versatility, has struggled to maintain consistent minutes since Amorim\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
