Man Utd Manager Amorim Defends Treatment of Benched Mainoo
Manager Ruben Amorim says team selection is based on performance and balance, with Mainoo seeking a January loan to gain regular play and push for England World Cup inclusion.
- On Thursday after the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim defended marginalising Kobbie Mainoo, saying he selects players on performance, not England status.
- Kobbie Mainoo has made ten appearances with only one start and remains one of four senior players yet to start in the Premier League, prompting transfer speculation.
- Asked about Mainoo's chances, Ruben Amorim said `I don't know, I don't know`, linking selection to training and citing Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, and Bruno Fernandes, captain, in midfield.
- Critics including Paul Scholes called Amorim's man management `bulls***` and warned Mainoo is being ruined, while academy player Shea Lacey remains unused on the bench.
- AFCON absences later this month will sideline Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui, while Napoli have been linked with Mainoo amid January transfer speculation.
