New Zidane' to Amorim outcast: Kobbie Mainoo at career crossroads
Briefly

Kobbie Mainoo, once hailed as Manchester United's new midfield general, is facing a career crossroads after initially impressing with a decisive FA Cup final goal. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, Mainoo has been relegated to a substitute role, with Amorim's 3-4-3 formation seemingly incompatible with Mainoo's skill set, particularly with concerns about his pace and stamina. This lack of faith in Mainoo prompted the manager to pursue Brighton's Carlos Baleba as an alternative option for the midfield, highlighting a shift in priorities for the club.
A player likened at 19 to Zinedine Zidane, Kobbie Mainoo shone in the FA Cup final but now finds himself a mere substitute under new manager Ruben Amorim.
Amorim deems Mainoo lacking the necessary pace and mobility for his 3-4-3 formation, leading him to seek alternative midfield options like Brighton's Carlos Baleba.
