"Kobbie Mainoo will have the opportunity he has all the time. He played in different positions: he can do that [defensive midfield] position, he can play if we play with three, he can play like we play in the last game -- the position of Mason Mount in this game [a number 10 who drops into midfield]. So, he's going to be the future of Manchester United, that is my feeling. He just needs to wait for his chance and everything can change in football in two days."
""If we are not getting someone, it is hard to leave," he added. "Even with a full squad we are shorter [in terms of players] for something that can happen here so it's going to be hard for someone to leave the club if we don't get a substitution.""
Ruben Amorim says Kobbie Mainoo represents the future of Manchester United despite limited game time and a recent calf injury. Mainoo has made 12 appearances this season with just one Carabao Cup start and has fallen out of favour. Amorim highlights Mainoo's versatility, noting he can play defensive midfield, in a three-man midfield, or a number 10 role that drops into midfield. A January loan is unlikely unless an adequate replacement arrives, given current squad shortages. Contract situations for senior players such as Casemiro and Harry Maguire also factor into squad planning for the summer.
