Paul Scholes has hit out at Ruben Amorim‘s treatment of Kobbie Mainoo – saying it is ‘bulls***’ that the midfielder cannot get a game for ‘a team that can’t control a game of football’.
The United legend, 51, launched the furious rebuttal after Amorim said he considers Mainoo ‘a starter’ despite having played him from the first whistle just once all season.
‘I see him as a starter like the other players,’ the United boss said last Friday. ‘I just have to make a choice and then in the end, it’s not been Kobbie.
‘In the future, I don’t know. Again, I always think the same thing with Casemiro. [He] was not playing and then he plays. I just want to win games. I don’t care who is playing.’
But after Amorim left Mainoo on the bench again on Thursday evening when trying to hold on to a 1-0 lead over West Ham, Scholes took to Instagram to vent his anger at the handling of the 20-year-old.
‘Bulls***,’ Scholes posted in response to Amorim’s comments. ‘The kid is being ruined, not being played in a team that can’t control a game of football. Hate seeing home grown players leave but it’s probably best for him now, enough is enough.’
