๐จ๐๏ธ | David Ornstein describes Kobbie Mainoo's struggles for England at the World Cup:
"The use of Mainoo has been a particularly big talking point. He struggled to hide his disappointment as the matches slipped past without him being called upon.
"One source connected to the squad wondered if Tuchel considered him a youngster who would be happy to simply be PART of a World Cup squad.
"Others felt the #
MUFC# midfielder had simply NOT done enough to earn his trust. Either way, it was NEVER clear what Tuchelโs plan was for the player.
"Instead, Mainoo saw defender Reece James being played in midfield instead of him towards the end of the tournament and failed to get minutes even when Rice was clearly struggling for fitness, despite a source close to the camp insisting he had trained WELL."
