Mainoo achieved a double low pivot Erik ten Hag and his ability to carry the ball forward, combined with a brilliant work rate without it, will stand him in good stead under the new manager.
Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho could also see consistent playing time. Antonio and Mark Rashford They have underperformed for quite some time and United could use some new faces on the flanks if they are to move forward. Diallo and Garnacho have delivered whenever they have had the opportunity.
Meanwhile, Rasmus HojlundThe role of forward will be undisputed. Amorim's desire to count on the Dane could also mean that he does not prioritize the signing of Viktor Gyokeres so intentionally and nurtures another young striker.
