ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY The Portuguese manager had identified Mainoo as a mere backup for club captain Bruno Fernandes in the No. 8 role, which effectively wrecked his chances of earning prominent game time. The youngster didn’t make a single Premier League start under the former Man Utd manager this season.
Man Utd closing in on Kobbie Mainoo agreement Luckily for Mainoo, Amorim’s departure breathed new life into his MUFC career. Michael Carrick immediately brought Fernandes back to his original No. 10 role, paving the way for the youngster’s return to the double pivot alongside Casemiro.
This simple tactical tweak not only restored Mainoo’s importance to the team but also benefited the whole club. United currently sit third in the Premier League table, and barring a late-season collapse, they will secure their place in the Champions League next season. Therefore, INEOS are keen to lock down Mainoo with a new and improved contract.
