Ruben Amorim, asked if he rates Kobbie Mainoo: “Of course. But in the end it's going to be the training, the games. Of course he's not playing so many games, but Kobbie has had opportunities, especially last year. Everyone has.
Amass is now struggling in Championship. Chido is not always a starter in under 21. All these guys played when a lot of people were saying sack the manager. So you can see I’m not worried. I just want to win and if he's
the right guy, I will put him in.”
Ruben Amorim on whether Kobbie Mainoo can play instead of Casemiro:
“Yes. Against West Ham, it was Manu [Ugarte] who took Bruno [Fernandes]'s position because Bruno moved up because I felt there were going to be long balls, second balls.
Against Everton, I took Casemiro off and brought on Kobbie, because we were trying to play a different game. He can play in that position. I don't know what's going to happen. We’ll see.”
