Ryan Giggs Advises Kobbie Mainoo to Stay Patient at Manchester United

Future Uncertainty for Mainoo

Kobbie Mainoo’s prospects at Manchester United remain uncertain following the recent dismissal of Ruben Amorim. The young midfielder had been relegated to the sidelines under Amorim’s management, prompting him to contemplate a January exit.

Change in Management

With Michael Carrick now at the helm, Mainoo still finds himself wrestling with worries about his role in the team, especially as discussions regarding a contract extension have stalled.

Giggs’ Encouragement

Ryan Giggs has weighed in on the situation, advising Mainoo to exhibit patience. Speaking to BetSelect, he stated, “As a footballer, the desire to play is natural, but I believe he should give it some more time, considering he’s just 20. Playing as a center midfielder at Manchester United is quite challenging.”

Giggs further elaborated, “Similar to strikers, you won’t often see young talents in that position at United due to the competition and the demands of the role. It’s understandable for fans to want him on the pitch more often, but patience is key.”

He emphasized that Mainoo is still in the formative stages of his career and that when opportunities arise, he must seize them. “I would prefer to see him continue his journey here,” Giggs added.
