Manchester United icon Paul Scholes strongly criticized manager Rúben Amorim for appearing to dismiss the potential impact of young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, arguing that the player’s development is being “ruined” and suggesting he should leave the club.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes reacted with fury after manager Rúben Amorim appeared to laugh off the idea of substituting in midfielder Kobbie Mainoo during the recent 1-1 draw with West Ham.
Amorim was asked which offensive options he had left and responded: “Who? Who would be more offensive?”
When Mainoo’s name was mentioned, Amorim laughed before defending his choices, stating, “I just want to win games. I don’t care who is playing.”
Scholes took to social media to criticize Amorim’s handling of the 20-year-old, arguing that the lack of game time is damaging his development.
The retired star declared the situation to be unacceptable, posting:
“Bulls—! The kid is being ruined, not being played in a team that can’t control a game of football. Hate seeing homegrown players leave but it’s probably best for him now, enough is enough.”
