Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has heaped praise on Kobbie Mainoo, but warned the young midfielder he must increase the tempo of his play if he wants to be a regular starter next season.
Still only 20 years old, Mainoo started 15 of 28 appearances under Amorim last season, operating primarily as a deeper midfielder but seeing frequent minutes further up the pitch. Amorim’s quest to find a permanent role for Mainoo even saw him deployed as a striker in a 2–0 defeat to Crystal Palace in February.
