O Manchester United achieved, on Saturday morning, its fourth consecutive victory in the Premier League and Michael Carrick is managing to shine as coach, while critics do not forget… Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach continues to be a dominant topic in England due to Kobbie Mainoo, who has already established himself in the eleven with Carrick after having almost left during Amorim’s time. This is the case of Ian Wright, who had no doubts in pointing the finger at the Portuguese decisions.
“This is the quality of Kobbie Mainoo, and we had already seen that when he joined the team and the English national team. He played in the European Championship at the age of 18 and we know the quality he has”, began by saying Wright, on the Premier League Productions antenna, quoted by Metro newspapercontinuing with more criticism of Amorim.
“Everyone was confused by what was happening under Ruben Amorim’s command. Because when we look at it [Mainoo]someone who had barely played, joining a Manchester United team that wasn’t in great shape, to play in that midfield, which is precisely where all the doubts were concentrated… it’s pure quality“, expressed the former English player, also recalling the words by Bruno Fernandes.
“We listened to Bruno [Fernandes] say that they were given freedom to express themselves, because they are good players. And Kobbie is a very, very good player, and I’m glad we’re finally seeing that now. I think it’s very embarrassing for Ruben Amorim, being completely honest“, highlighted the Arsenal legend, leaving one last comment.
“What we are seeing now is a product of the Manchester United formation who had no opportunities and was very close to leaving the club. He [Mainoo] it was brilliant today [sábado]magnificent“, rematou Ian Wright.
What has changed for Mainoo?
The young English international was one of Ruben Amorim’s biggest problems during the time he was at the helm of the technical command. The Portuguese coach preferred to move Bruno Fernandes to midfield as a pair, pairing him with Casemiro, and relegate Mainoo to the bench, arguing that he could not play with both players at the same time.
Now, Kobbie Mainoo even asked to leave Manchester United, but was not given permission, seeing his situation change with the dismissal of Amorim and the arrival of Michael Carrick.
Manchester United’s new coach, who only has a contract until the end of the season, decided to recover the traditional midfield scheme and brought Mainoo into the team, with the young man from the team giving a complete response, at the same time that critics target Ruben Amorim for not having bet on a homegrown talent.
What’s next for United?
Manchester United’s fourth consecutive victory cemented their fourth place in the Premier League, where they are on 44 points, one more than Chelsea.
The Red Devils are back in action the day after tomorrow, Tuesday, with a duel against West Ham, played by fellow Portuguese player Nuno Espírito Santo.
