Manchester United played a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The Portuguese manager and his team are facing increasing difficulties as Ruben Amorim’s club has yet to win in the Premier League this season.
With only two games played, it already appears that United will have a challenging season because their midfield, attack, and defense are still falling short of expectations.
Kobbie Mainoo, a midfielder for United, is among the players who have missed both games.
Mainoo did not play against Fulham, just as he did in the 1-0 loss to Arsenal at Old Trafford last week.
Ruben Amorim reveals reason behind Kobbie Mainoo absence
Amorim confirmed that the reason why Mainoo did not come on for the Red Devils is because he is competing for a place in the team with captain Bruno Fernandes.
“He’s fighting for the position now with Bruno,” Amorim said of Mainoo, as reported by Manchester Evening News.
“And I change two midfielders. I let Mason Mount [play] there because we want to score a goal and when I changed I felt the team need to return to one holding midfielder near Bruno.
“So he (Mainoo) just needs to fight for the position with Bruno, as [it] should be at Manchester United. [Sometimes] he’s going to play with Bruno, but at the moment he’s fighting in training with Bruno for the position.”
