Then it was done. Ruben Amorim will have his own thoughts, but the Portuguese no longer has a voice at Old Trafford. On Thursday, Kobbie Mainoo’s position at Manchester United will be consolidated. The 21-year-old’s ambitions are definitely aligned with the club’s – and Michael Carrick’s.
Mainoo was put in the freezer under Ruben Amorim, much to the frustration of United legend Paul Scholes, but in Michael Carrick’s first game as interim Man Utd manager, Kobbie Mainoo was back in the starting eleven. Manchester City were sunk at Old Trafford, the midfielder stood the whole game. Thus, a continuous downward streak was interrupted for Mainoo. Not a single game from the start with Amorim on the sidelines, the City game marked the change. Now Mainoo has been a given from the start in the last 12 of 13 Premier League games.

“Manchester United has always been my home. This special club means everything to my family,” Mainoo begins to the club’s website.
“I’ve grown up seeing the impact our club has on our city, and I appreciate the responsibility that comes with wearing this shirt. From The Cliff, to Littleton Road, to Carrington and finally Old Trafford, the journey so far has been incredible. I am privileged to live my dream every single day, with the same unwavering determination to succeed here as when I attended my first training session as a six-year-old. We can all feel the momentum growing in the club. I am determined to step up and play my part in helping Manchester United compete for major trophies regularly in the years to come,” he told the club’s website.
Congratulations!
