"Despite excelling for United last season and making his breakthrough into the England national team, Mainoo has been named on the bench in each of United's opening four Premier League fixtures this season. Amorim has reportedly told the 20-year-old that he is in direct competition with captain Bruno Fernandes for one of the two advanced midfield roles, leaving Mainoo in a difficult position."
"Frustrated, Mainoo even asked to leave the club on loan late in the transfer window, but United blocked the move, insisting he remains part of the long-term project. Scholes, however, believes the youngster should be more forceful. After a couple of games where Bruno hasn't played well, why isn't he asking the question? Scholes said. Monday morning he should be in Amorim's office demanding to know why he isn't starting."
"directly.

To risk stunting his development through limited minutes would be a mistake."
Kobbie Mainoo has been named on the bench for Manchester United's first four Premier League fixtures despite excelling last season and earning an England breakthrough. Ruben Amorim reportedly views Mainoo as competing directly with captain Bruno Fernandes for an advanced midfield role, restricting his starts. Mainoo requested a late-window loan that the club blocked, with United insisting he remains part of a long-term project. Paul Scholes urged Mainoo to demand explanations from Amorim and challenge the lack of trust. The Alejandro Garnacho fallout was cited as a possible deterrent for youngsters confronting the manager. Limited minutes risk stunting Mainoo's development.
