After months of rumors and actual skirmishes over several players, Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim appears to discuss the future of several players on the team, including the distinguished Kobbie Mainoo, whose name has been linked to several major European clubs.
The Portuguese coach said clearly and frankly that the club will not let its distinguished young players leave easily in the next January market, and that Manchester United will strive hard to maintain its strengths.
I understand their disappointment, but they are our players and we need everyone for a successful season. At a club like United, it's always tough. Everyone wants to play, especially ahead of major tournaments. But we have to maintain squad depth.
The path to glory is often paved with patience and persistence, a reality two young talents, Mainoo and Zirkzee, know all too well this season. Despite their potential, a coveted spot in the starting eleven has remained just out of reach for both. Yet, this period of challenge is charged with significance.
With the global spectacle of the World Cup looming on the horizon, every training session and every minute on the pitch is a precious audition. For them, this isn't just a battle for club position; it's a race against time to catch the eye of their national team selectors and secure a ticket to football's grandest stage.
