"I believe a lot in Kobbie but some of you think that Kobbie Mainoo is already done. I think he can do so much better. He can improve in a lot. And sometimes I think for some guys it's [the level he's playing at now] enough. For him, it's not enough. Maybe it's not fair, but I think I'm helping Kobbie Mainoo and that's it."
"The way I play is completely different from the last manager. I watched a lot of Premier League games [while I was] in Portugal, and you could feel that United was really [about] transitions. Kobbie was the only guy that calmed down the game. Now, we have other players that calm down the game. We play different. And [so] sometimes I expect more from Kobb"
Kobbie Mainoo was overlooked for Manchester United's opening Premier League games and reportedly wanted a loan to secure more playing time before next summer's World Cup. The transfer window closed with Mainoo remaining in the squad and he entered at half-time in the 3-2 win over Burnley. Ruben Amorim expressed confidence in Mainoo's abilities while emphasising that Mainoo can still improve significantly. Amorim said he will provide opportunities when he judges Mainoo the best choice and described differences in playing style and the midfielder's calming influence during transitions.
