He's now fresh for next season, nice little break in America for a month whilst still training, buzzing England have been stupid enough not to use him.

Feel like shit just wanna see Kobbie Mainoo play football again

I feel like he has a big season ahead. He has a chip on his shoulder after 2 years of not having a manager who actually rates him. Carrick clearly does now and this is the time for him to really show what he can do. Biggest season of his life so far incoming.

I proper back him to take his opportunity. Hopefully another midfielder comes in as well so we’re not overly reliant. Despite the signings I still think we’re light there

Agreed. Any of the following 3 would address a lack of depth in their respective midfield role - Lazar Samardzic (Atalanta) Samu Costa (Mallorca) and Lewis Ferguson (Bologna). All would be very singable and relatively cheap.

Tell em Gaz

WELL IN, GAZ

He needs telling!

I’m in complete agreement. It’s been a disgrace

Imagine if he is picked for the wooden spoon match on Saturday and absolutely humbles France.

Would be an insult to him tbh

I'd be inclined to tell the teutonic tactician where to stick his larger ear.

It was frustrating. The team was screaming for control in midfield at times & to ignore someone like Mainoo who can offer that, is baffling. But I wonder if this is in part of the Manager preference over athleticism type rather than mavericks. (Which reflected his squad)

So he’s even more boring than Southgate 🥱

If Kobbie gets put in the starting lineup for the 3rd place game, I hope he tells them to stick it up there arse. Last night was a joke.

Tuchel and Amorim are both trophy winning mangers and neither of them rated him but the sacked championship manager does

And it really paid off for those two who ignored him. Meanwhile Carrick has been an abject failure for playing him every game, obvs.

New manager bounce 1 game a week

Not just Mainoo; Foden is frigging world class too and I’m a United fan. Against Brentford in April, City were 1-1. Foden changed the game with his technical ability and game changing qualities. Tuchel seems to hate technically gifted players and seems to value athleticism!

spot on mate

He is an entitled little shit.

The most accurate overview. Laughable that Tuchel afterwards has claimed we needed more control in games too. Ridiculous oversight. Get back to manchester where he is respected.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

He makes a great point because from me, I wasnt really going crazy about specifically Kobbie not playing in earlier games. What worried me was the fact that when England struggled, he didnt see the need to try something different. His substitutions were mostly to bring on players to continue playing the same way. So yes, England had already dropped deep before his first substitution, but his changes were to continue defending deep not to try and change that to get some control. Mainoo, 1 or 2 fast attacking players and some sensible tactical tweaks were options that could have helped do that.

Issue is mainoo needs someone to start next to him. Still your point stands - Mainoo and rice would have had a better balance

#Freekobbie 💪

Let’s wait for Tuchel downfall

I agree with this to an extent but as much as Mainoo is a good player who I rate, he didn’t deserve to be in the squad ahead of Adam Wharton the only reason he made the squad is because he plays for United.

3 assists in 3 years

When will the English learn that when it comes down to it, it's the technicians that win you the trophy not the athletes...

Possibly the best way of describing the situation. Well said!

Next time Kobbie is put in the England squad call in sick.

United fans are Uber deluded. He's not that good. He'll be a bench player by October. Santos and tielemans are both better players.

Tbf gaz .. you along with thousands of reds have told us this many many times before & they haven’t .. so why should we believe you now ?
