When Roy is correct, it’s because there’s no other option

Mainoo hasnt proven himself to be good enough to warrant this level of media noise about not playing him etc.
Hes a talented player that has a few large gaps in his game he needs to work on. Far as I can see hes just nice with the ball sometimes
Like people speak as if hes Paul Scoles level of talent. Has he shown more at this age than Lingaard did?

What is all this talk about Mainoo as if he’s the next best thing. He had a few good games when the team was struggling a lot. But every time he’s had an opportunity to play in the past year. He hasn’t shown anything spectacular to warrant all this attention.

Pure stupidity and fucks Mainoo over, clearly done so he can have some attention rather than to benefit Kobbie.

That brother is telling the truth

I’ll say that United fans were acting like Kobbie was the second coming of Jesus a year or two ago. I think they were expecting a role similar to Rico and/or Nico at City.
I don’t really get why his brother supporting him is that big of a deal. People are staying he’s trying to get attention, but a more charitable read would be he’s using his relatively large platform to bring light to his brothers situation.
Idk how Kobbie feels about it, but I think people are being harsh on both of the brothers atp.

I say this as Man Utd fan. I’m sure other reds will not be happy with me and I would love him to prove me wrong, but my thing with Kobbie is that it’s clear he’s a really tidy footballer, technically gifted, glides around etc, but what is he as a player? Where does he fit in a team?
I could see him fit in nicely (but not shine) in a prime Pep team maybe, just moving the ball around a lot, but outside of that what does he do?
He’s not really a passer or a runner. He doesn’t go looking for the ball and control games from deep and he’s not going to get up and down box to box. He’s not going to screen a back four and make tackles. He doesn’t create chances consistently, he’s not going to arrive late and score goals regularly.
To me he’s like an old fashioned and now instinct in the modern game luxury player, but with them even in that time their output justified what they lacked elsewhere. At this point I don’t even see him being the type of player to produce enough that would have justified his selection if he played in the 90’s.
Maybe Spain would suit him more as player, but I just don’t know what his worth is playing in the PL, frankly I agree with Amorim, think he’s a bit of a liability to play week in week out. Yes he’ll have moments and affect games, but is he going to do it week to week? I don’t see it and what does he offer you outside of that?

Usually when a player isn’t playing very often at all it’s for a reason. Has Mainoo actually done anything for Man Utd despite those first 10 games he played where he looked half decent ?
he’s not really been good enough to get in Man Utd first team at the moment when you’ve got Bruno and Mount actually playing well. He played horribly last season.
Man Utd don’t really need any more entitled players with overinflated opinions of their own ability. I’d just sell him and re-invest at this point. They need to send a message to those sorts of players.
