Ruben Amorim update on Kobbie Mainoo before Lyon v Man Utd
The youngster has experienced some injury problems this campaign but Ruben admires his talent and believes it will take time to develop his game fully.
“Yeah, I think in England sometimes they played with three defenders also,” our head coach said. “It was more or less the same position [as in our team], so he can play [there].
“Of course, we need to help him. We need to find a little bit, like Casemiro in this moment is playing better, because we are understanding better the way that Casemiro can play, and I think we can do that with Kobbie, because he has a lot of qualities.
“He’s really good on the ball. But he’s also really good near the opponent’s box, so we’ll try to manage all that, to try to find the right space for a player like Kobbie.”
