Amorim on Main: You Can Do Better - Why the Manchester United Star is Discontent.

According to The Sun: The head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, addressed midfielder Kobbie Main: “You have to do better.”

The 20-year-old Main considered leaving the club before the transfer window closed due to a lack of playing time.

The Italian club Napoli showed interest in acquiring Main's services, but the Red Devils did not want to let him go on loan.

When the transfer window was open, Amorim did not contact Main, but during the international break, he had an important conversation where he noted that Main has the potential to improve his game.

Comments from Amorim

The Portuguese coach, whose team will play in a derby against Manchester City, noted: “Like a lot of guys, he wants to play more.”

“I didn’t have a conversation with him before the window closed but I did this week,” he added.

“I didn’t want him thinking I was having the conversation just to hold on to him. Some people think he is there but I think he can do so much better.”

“For some guys it’s enough, for him it’s not enough. Maybe it’s not fair but I think I’m helping Kobbie Mainoo.”

“He’s not used to fighting for his place, maybe. He is uncomfortable but he is a very good kid — and he is fighting.”

Main has shown great potential, scoring a goal in the FA Cup final against City and representing England in the Euro 2024 final, despite the loss to Spain.

“I know he started the final of the European Championship in a team that has a lot of talented players.”

Plans for Improvement

Amorim also emphasized what specifically Main needs to improve: “He needs to have the technical ability that he has but he needs more pace.”

“He needs to play at different speeds. Sometimes he’s slower and sometimes he’s faster. He can improve on that.”

“And then he has to beat Bruno Fernandes. He has to beat Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte. They are good players also. I need to choose.”

“Sometimes it’s about the opinion of a coach. I remember Vitinha was not playing for Wolves. Nowadays, Vitinha is maybe the best midfielder in the world.”
