"The current United formation only allows for two central midfielders, and Fernandes is pretty much a nailed-on starter in every game, while there could perhaps be some rotation between Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte alongside him. Mainoo, however, is seemingly not considered a defensive midfielder like Casemiro or Ugarte, so he's up against Fernandes for a starting spot, which looks like a very tough challenge."
"So, I get Kobbie's point of view that he's like, Hang on a minute. If I can play alongside Bruno, great. But if I'm actually it's me or him, he's always going to play. He's brilliant,' Neville said. But what's football about? What's what's the the life of a professional football is most of it you're trying to prove people wrong? Keane responded."
Kobbie Mainoo, 20, is experiencing uncertain prospects at Manchester United because of limited playing time under manager Ruben Amorim. The club's formation usually fields two central midfielders; Bruno Fernandes is effectively guaranteed a starting role, while Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte offer rotation in the other midfield berth. Mainoo is not seen primarily as a defensive midfielder, which forces him into direct competition with Fernandes for an advanced midfield position. One perspective favors a transfer to secure regular minutes; an opposing perspective advises patience, continued learning, and seizing opportunities to prove capability and earn a place.
