Manchester United’s legend Paul Scholes was very vocal on Ruben Amorim’s decision not to utilize Kobbie Mainoo as much as he possibly can.
After Amorim’s statement about his starting 11 choice, Paul Scholes hit Amorim with his statement through his Instagram
“Bulls***,” as he wrote to respond Ruben Amorim remark on him starter players
He added on The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast:
“The kid is being ruined, not being played in a team that can’t control a game of football.
“Hate seeing homegrown players leave but it’s probably best for him now, enough is enough.”
“Ruben Amorim has said Kobbie Mainoo is a starter… every appearance he’s made in the Premier League has been as a sub. Things like that wind me up.
“I wouldn’t mind if he was in a good team and they were winning every week and keeping possession but they’re rubbish. Kobbie is a 20-year-old kid and he’s not playing. He’s going to have to leave.
“Do you know what will happen now? Amorim will bring him into a game and he won’t be great but that’s because he needs regular games.
“Fair enough, as a manager sometimes you just don’t fancy a player. But look at what he’s already done – scored the winner in an FA Cup final, played every game in the Euros.
“’I bet he takes the p*** out of Casemiro every single day in training and is brilliant. I don’t know why the club are letting Amorim treat a homegrown talent like that.”
Paul Scholes is always a believer that homegrown and academy products are the backbone for Manchester United for a long time, since he was also the academy product of United in the class of 92.

And Manchester United are famous for always having at least one academy graduate in their line up. It is quite understandable from Scholes when you have the brilliant young talent in your squad, yet he barely gets time to show his quality is such a waste.
Nicky Butt, the Former Manchester United Player Also Have a Say
Nicky Butt also added in the same podcast:
“The Kobbie one is an absolute joke. I went to the West Ham game and it was an absolute s***show. It was a terrible, boring game”
“The player to bring on to change the game, in my opinion, was Kobbie Mainoo, but he didn’t get on the pitch. He’ll be another homegrown player who leaves and is a superstar somewhere else.
“If Mainoo was playing for another Premier League club, United go and buy him for £70m or £80m. Now we’re going to sell him and he’ll be a superstar elsewhere like McTominay, Elanga, Henderson – we can mention loads of them.
“We’re getting rid of players who love the football club, it’s mind-boggling. I get the [Alejandro] Garnacho one because his attitude and behaviour was terrible but you don’t hear that about Kobbie.
“He’s a top, top, top player that we are f****** up. Kobbie has got to go. If I’m looking after him I’m telling him ‘we’re getting you out of that football club.’”
Criticism will always be there for Ruben Amorim. As long as Manchester United are not playing consistently, the criticism will always be there, and as many people said: The hardest job in the world is the manager of Manchester United.
The pressure on this team is immense and only people with strong mentality could deal with the amount of pressure there is at Old Trafford.
