Kobbie Mainoo is UNTOUCHABLE❌️⁉️⁉️ That’s where Manchester United fans lose credibility. Let’s be honest for once. When Amorim arrived , everyone got minutes. Not 90s, but opportunities. Casemiro. Mainoo(scores against lyon). Bruno. Rotation. Evaluation. Standards. That’s what a new manager does. Casemiro was dropped along the line. No outrage. No agendas. No “manager hates him” narratives. Casemiro worked, improved, and earned his way back. Amorim publicly admitted: “Casemiro proved me wrong.” That’s a manager demanding quality, not playing favourites. So why did it become a crisis "only when Mainoo wasn’t starting"? Here’s the uncomfortable truth. "In Amorim’s system", Mainoo competes as an #8. And in that role, Bruno Fernandes is ahead of him. Period. Amorim literally said Mainoo is fighting for his position with Bruno. Fans lost their minds and said “they don’t even play the same position” then turn around and demand Mainoo starts as an #8 so Bruno plays #10 Some fans literally got mad Ugarte plays ahead of Mainoo. The same Mainoo that Michael Carrick said "he's a #10 "? Why do you want him in the #6 position all of a sudden? Favoritism? So what do you actually want? Meritocracy or protection? Let’s strip emotions and talk "elite standards". Right now: Mainoo does not start ahead of Bruno at United if he has to compete! He does not walk into City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, or Spurs midfield! That doesn’t mean he’s bad It means he’s developing Development is not a crime. Competition is not disrespect. Demanding more is not hatred. Casemiro was benched for weeks. He responded. Mainoo was rotated. Fans responded by attacking the manager. That’s hypocrisy. And here’s the final point people avoid Every serious club demands more from young players, not less. If a coach challenges you, it’s because he sees potential not because he wants you gone. The same pattern happened with these two Rashford Sancho Talent without consistency does not override standards. If Mainoo improves, he plays. If he doesn’t, he waits. That’s football. That’s elite culture. And that’s exactly what Amorim was trying to build. Protecting players doesn’t develop them. Competition does.
