Amid ongoing scrutiny over Manchester United's inconsistent form, manager Ruben Amorim has publicly responded to mounting criticism regarding his limited use of midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. Facing questions at a recent press conference, Amorim acknowledged the player's value but emphasized that selection is dictated by on-pitch merit.
Emphasis on Training and Match Performance
"I value Kobbie Mainoo," Amorim stated, before clarifying his selection philosophy. "But in the end, the most important things are training and games. He is not playing many matches, but Kobbie has had opportunities, especially last year. Everyone did."

Linking Criticism to Results
The manager also addressed direct critiques from several club legends, suggesting the narrative is intrinsically tied to the team's results. He offered a pointed analogy regarding the pressure, remarking, "Not winning is the issue. If I'm winning, I can go to the games on a horse, arrive there, play with just two defenders, and everything will be fine."
