"He is fighting for the position now with Bruno, I changed two midfielders. I like Mason Mount there because we want to score a goal. And then when I changed it, I felt that the team needed to return to one holding midfielder. So he just needs to fight for the position with Bruno in training. Like it should be at Manchester United."
"I think we can be happy with a point, I think we had more chances at the end. Overall a point against Man United is not bad. We grew so much in the game and after they scored we had to push. We scored and then had more control. We know we have a good team and we know we can hurt teams."
Kobbie Mainoo has not played for Manchester United this season, missing the opening-day defeat by Arsenal and the 1-1 draw at Fulham. Ruben Amorim has placed Mainoo in direct competition with captain Bruno Fernandes for a midfield position. In the Fulham match Amorim substituted Casemiro for Benjamin Sesko, moved Mason Mount from up front back into midfield, then replaced Mount with Manuel Ugarte before introducing defenders Harry Maguire and Ayden Heaven. Fernandes missed a first-half penalty but remains a mainstay in selection. Mainoo's most likely immediate opportunity is a Carabao Cup outing against Grimsby. Emile Smith Rowe equalized for Fulham as a substitute.
