Ruben Amorim praises Kobbie Mainoo's successful role change at Manchester United

Ruben Amorim has praised Kobbie Mainoo's recent performances after a tactical shift that saw the teenager play in a more advanced 'number ten' role during Manchester United's 2-0 Europa League victory over FCSB. Mainoo scored and assisted in the match, showcasing his ability to contribute effectively in attack, a contrast to his earlier struggles in a deeper midfield position. Amorim noted that Mainoo's dip in form was more related to positional discomfort than contract uncertainties, as the young talent had been linked to a potential transfer amid contract negotiations. The coach emphasized the importance of training to help players adapt to their best roles, suggesting that Mainoo's new position could become permanent. The victory secured United's place in the Europa League last 16, with Mainoo's performance being pivotal in their success. As the team looks ahead, there is growing optimism about Mainoo's potential and impact in the squad.
