9 Feb
Summary
- Gary Lineker suggests Kobbie Mainoo consider suing a former coach.
- Mainoo has played more minutes under Michael Carrick recently.
- Lineker believes the midfielder's development was hindered.
Football pundit Gary Lineker has humorously suggested that Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo should consider suing a former coach, Ruben Amorim. Lineker believes Amorim's decisions to bench Mainoo frequently 'took a year out of that kid's career,' hindering his development.
Speaking on a podcast, Lineker lauded Mainoo's recent impressive performances under Michael Carrick. He highlighted the youngster's ability to make difficult plays look easy, his confidence on the ball, and his consistent good decision-making.
Lineker expressed surprise that Mainoo might not be selected for the England squad for the FIFA World Cup, emphasizing his view that the midfielder is a 'seriously good footballer.' Mainoo has accumulated 360 minutes under Carrick in four games, compared to 311 minutes in twelve appearances under Amorim this season.
