Kobbie Mainoo has been limited to Premier League action so far this season to just 73 minutes, with Gary Lineker being “worried” by the Manchester United star situation
Gary Reinker has expressed concern over Cobby Mineu’s treatment at Manchester United. He admits he is “confusing” by the lack of playing time for young people under Reuben Amorim. Despite being impressed with his brief cameo in Sunday’s defeat to Manchester City, the 20-year-old Mineu has yet to start a Premier League match and has once again been named on the bench due to the clash.
England International made an impact when it was brought in in the 62nd minute, recording a 100% pass success rate from 17 attempts. He also won all three duels and made one successful dribble.
Following his performance, some United supporters urged Amorim to give Maine a stop-start against Chelsea on Saturday, seeking only the second victory of the campaign. The Stockport-born genius played top flight football this season in just 73 minutes and was an unused sub against Arsenal and Fulham.

The former Reistum City and Tottenham star line car share his thoughts on Mineu’s plight and are worried that he will not be able to break into United’s first team. Speaking of the rest of the matter being a football podcast, Lineker has raised concerns.
“I mean, when he came, I thought he did really well. I don’t understand that. I don’t know what we don’t know or if there’s anything like that, but that’s a bit baffling to me.”
United were well defeated at Etihad Stadium, and Ellinghaaland secured the city’s victory by winning twice in the second half. It came after Phil Foden’s 18-minute opener.
“They looked very poor,” Rhineker added at United. “One thing I say, and knowing how he wants his team to play, he may not have players, but one thing I say is, even if you say you’re going to keep playing the same way, isn’t your team very easy to plan?
Despite another intense defeat, Amorim is still supported by the United Committee, according to Manchester Evening News. He’s at the helm from 31 Premier League matches and united at the bottom of the table for 17 top flight teams since his first match on November 24th, the pressure on him is still increasing.
