Mainoo learned 'patience' from difficult spell under Amorim

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo says he was focusing on his "dream" of playing in the World Cup, despite struggling for game time under previous head coach Ruben Amorim. Mainoo emphasized that he learned "patience" during this difficult period where he was not fancied as the team toiled under Amorim's management.

The midfielder did not start a Premier League match until Michael Carrick took charge in January. This lack of opportunity under the previous regime marked a challenging start to the season for the young player, requiring him to remain patient and focused on his long-term aspirations.

Since Carrick's appointment, Mainoo’s role within the team has transformed significantly. He started all 16 games he was available for following the managerial change. Demonstrating his importance to the squad, he played the full 90 minutes on 15 of those occasions. This consistent run of performances coincided with the Red Devils storming to a third-place finish in the league.
