"The talented young England international made a real impression when he first broke into the Man Utd first-team, but he's now finding himself having to make do with a place on the bench in nearly every game under Ruben Amorim. This has led to some speculation over Mainoo's future, and many Red Devils fans will be frustrated that he's not being given more of a chance to show what he can do. Still, former United captain Keane doesn't necessarily share that view"
"Needless to say, even if you have all the ability in the world, you can't get by without working hard and pressing with real intensity in the modern game. Mainoo might well succeed elsewhere, but for now it seems there are decent reasons to believe he might not quite have what it takes to be the main man in midfield for a top Premier League club."
Kobbie Mainoo initially impressed after breaking into Manchester United's first team but has largely been restricted to the bench under Ruben Amorim. His limited playing time has generated speculation about his future and frustration among some supporters. Roy Keane says potential alone does not guarantee a place and reports concerns inside the club about how much ground Mainoo can cover over 90 minutes. Modern top-level midfield roles demand high work-rate, relentless pressing and stamina. Mainoo may succeed at another club, but current assessments suggest he is not yet proven as the primary midfield figure for a top Premier League side.
