Mainu rose through United&#8217;s academy system and was progressed by Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n<p>The midfielder impressed immediately and capped off his first season with a goal in the FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley. His performances earned him a place in the England squad for Euro 2024, where the Three Lions reached the final, but his chances have diminished significantly since Amorim&#8217;s arrival. The 19-year-old was completely overlooked in the Portuguese manager&#8217;s opening two games and has since been restricted to brief appearances from the bench. Amorim instead opted to play Casemiro ahead of himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Parker believes there must be underlying tensions, as he revealed to MyBettingSites: &#8220;You have to ask why Mainu isn&#8217;t being used in that midfield. Somewhere because I&#8217;ve seen it all the time, it has to be personal. It has to be personal and the truth has to be told somewhere. He doesn&#8217;t like him or he doesn&#8217;t like him as a player. It makes no sense at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">Despite Mainu&#8217;s impressive development at United, speculation has emerged over a possible departure, with PSR having the advantage of releasing an academy graduate. The youngster would still command a hefty transfer fee, but United have a famous tradition of supporting emerging stars and Parker was cautious about selling him given his early contributions.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;If we allow Mainu to be released because he&#8217;s a local boy, we&#8217;re going to have a big problem. But that&#8217;s not the only problem. It&#8217;s about what he achieved in a short period of time, and he&#8217;s not given time and respect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Amorim has been under intense scrutiny regarding Mainu&#8217;s appointment, but he spoke frankly about the growth he expects from the midfielder&#8217;s performance. &#8220;I have a lot of faith in Koby, but some people think that Koby Mainu is already finished. I think he can be better. He can improve in many ways,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mainu found himself fighting for opportunities alongside players such as Manuel Ugarte, whose game time has been limited under Amorim&#8217;s regime. It was widely reported that the Old Trafford side were looking to sign a defensive midfielder in the center of the pitch, which led to the signing of Carlos Baleva.<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s tactical approach under Amorim, which he has refused to abandon, requires energy in the center of the park, and this has been highlighted as a concern in the current first-team selection in the early stages of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2122018\/ruben-amorim-man-utd-mainoo\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker is adamant that he harbors a private and &#8220;personal&#8221; grudge against Koby Mainu as Ruben Amorim remains relegated to the reserve bench despite his former talent.
