Kobbie Mainoo Reflects on Tough Spell Under Amorim Before Shining Under Carrick

1 / 4

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has opened up about a difficult period when he was sidelined by former manager Ruben Amorim. After a breakthrough season under Erik ten Hag, Mainoo found himself out of favour and often benched. He admits the lack of game time forced him to “consider all options” about his future at the club. Mainoo credits his family and friends for helping him stay patient and positive despite the uncertainty. The 21-year-old signed a new contract and now flourishes under interim coach Michael Carrick, who restored him to a three-man midfield system. Mainoo says the experience taught him self-belief, patience and the importance of adapting to different coaching styles.
