""By the very fact that Amorim has gone, you would think that he's going to get a lot more opportunity to play, but that's where the positive for him ends in many ways, Owen told casino.org. "Now it's down to Mainoo. It's all right blaming people, but of course, his time is now going to come and he's got to take it.""
""He's got to take that opportunity because if the next manager doesn't play him and the next manager doesn't bring him on much, then at some point, a little bit like Marcus Rashford, those doubts might start to creep in. "He'll be thinking, Am I playing well? Am I listening to the information I'm getting? Am I disciplined? Am I all of these things?' "Right now, he will be one of the happiest people about, but now it's going to be squarely on his toes, and there's no hiding place or excuses. "He's got to now prove that Amorim was wrong by not playing him as much. He's probably going to get that opportunity, so we'll see.""
Kobbie Mainoo fell from regular starter under Erik ten Hag to an outcast under Rúben Amorim, who did not give him a Premier League start this season before being sacked. Mainoo attempted a loan move late in the summer but the request was blocked, and he has been instructed to remain at the club. An ongoing injury has kept him out of the last three matchday squads. Darren Fletcher is interim manager while Ole Gunnar Solskjær is a potential short-term return, creating a chance for increased minutes. Mainoo now faces pressure to capitalize on opportunities and prove Amorim was wrong, with performance, discipline, and consistency essential to avoid creeping doubts similar to those experienced by other players.
