Midfielder has not started a league match this season
Head coach says ‘everything can change in two days’
Ruben Amorim has claimed that Kobbie Mainoo is “the future of Manchester United” and that the 20-year-old’s versatility increases his chances of breaking into the team soon.
Mainoo has a calf problem that rules him out of Newcastle’s visit to Old Trafford on Boxing Day but Amorim offered his firmest backing yet for a player he has not started in any of United’s 17 Premier League matches.
The head coach said: “He is going to be the future of Manchester United. That is my feeling. So you [Mainoo] just need to wait for each chance and everything can change in football in two days. He will have the opportunity that he has all the time to force his way in.”
