Manchester United defender Harry Maguire discusses Kobbie Mainoo’s playing time during Ruben Amorim’s period as manager. According to reports, Mainoo had trouble securing regular minutes while Amorim was in charge, and Maguire provides context for how the midfielder’s role was managed. The accounts also link the situation to the broader change in United’s coaching staff, noting that Mainoo later becomes more central to the team’s performances under Michael Carrick. One report says Maguire explains that Mainoo’s treatment under Amorim affected his prospects for consistent involvement, with the implication that he could have considered leaving the club if Amorim had continued. The other highlights that Mainoo’s difficulties under Amorim were significant enough to raise the possibility of him departing, while emphasizing that he ultimately plays an important role after Carrick takes charge in the second half of the season. Overall, the sources portray Mainoo’s reduced role under Amorim as a key factor in his thinking at the time, followed by a turnaround under Carrick.
