Ahead of Boxing Day, Ruben Amorim blocks player’s move to Manchester United | OneFootball

After all, Kobbie Mainoo isn’t going anywhere. According to what has been found out, the England international — who is being coveted by Napoli — remains an important piece at Manchester United, according to the words spoken by Ruben Amorim, coach of the Red Devils and former Benfica player.

"When I look at the team, I feel that, when I have the full squad, I’ll be able to get more quality out of this group. That’s my focus. When we have all the players available, we’ll be better," the Portuguese coach began during the press conference.

"It’s true that we’re facing some difficulties at the moment, but the club has a plan and we’ll stick to that plan. If the opportunity arises to bring in a player we feel will be the future of the club, he will come. If not, we have players coming back: Jack, Shea, Amad, Noos, Bryan, Bruno, and Kobbie Mainoo," added Ruben Amorim, reinforcing his confidence in the England international.

"We had the problem with Kobbie and then with Bruno. If we can bring in someone good, we will. If not, we’ll invest that money in the summer," acknowledged the former Benfica man, admitting that strengthening the squad is not a priority at the moment.

"No. If we don’t sign anyone, it’s impossible to let players leave. We’re already few, even with the full squad. We’re a club with great responsibility and we have to win every game, so it’s difficult for anyone to leave if there isn’t a replacement," he concluded, ruling out the possibility of the number 37 leaving Old Trafford.
