INEOS should sell Man Utd team that earns more than Mainoo

Manchester United They looked like a different team as they started the new year strongly, drawing at Anfield and coming close to taking all three points.

It's the beginning. Robin Amorim He has appeared depressed on more than a few occasions over the past few months, with his tactical vision unable to hit its stride and players routinely tempted to bluff.

The Portuguese manager did not hold back during his post-match interview despite the impressive and exhilarating 2-2 draw against Liverpool, as he was left baffled by his players' inability to maintain consistency.

The seeds have now been planted; Perhaps his ideas have just taken hold. The Red Devils impressed, but the result at Anfield was the result of a strong display in midfield, with… Kobe Maino He stands firm against the hosts.

Kobbie Mainoo's recent success

Maino was a beacon of hope for Manchester United last season, the latest to emerge from Carrington's perennial production line and is effectively guiding Erik ten Hag During the season, he scored in his team's victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

This year, the season has been even more special, with Maino missing a large part of the campaign through injury and perhaps struggling to show that precocious swagger he played with before the summer, free in his youthful flair.

However, the 19-year-old has begun to emerge under Amorim's wing in recent weeks, instilling much-needed control off the bench against Newcastle United and impressing against Liverpool. Remarkably, he won six of his 11 duels.

Manchester United should sell the player who earns more than Maino

Maino does his club proud as one of their best up-and-coming players, but not everyone looking to prove themselves is thriving. In fact, under fire Joshua Zirkzee He may be headed for the exit just months after first joining.

In July, Man United He signed Zirkzee from Bologna for a fee of £36.5 million After winning the Best Young Player award in the Italian League, which helped his team qualify for the Champions League.

It's fair to say that he had a difficult start to life in England. Zirkzee opened his account with a win over Fulham in August, as a substitute and contributed to United's preparation for this year with three points. However, he has struggled since then, with just… Four goals in 28 matches.

Perhaps the most worrying part is the failure to translate the quality that prompted Ineos to take risks and bring dynamism to Old Trafford, as he lacks the movement and fitness to truly make his mark.

His suffering against Newcastle was embodied before the new year when he was withdrawn after only 34 minutes on the field. We mentioned that Maino had impressed off the bench, but the damage had already been done as the Amorim side were 2-0 down – a result that pleased the home side.

As such, the 23-year-old appears to have abandoned that idea. Caught Offside was recently reported Zirkzee informed his agent of his desire to leave and that he is interested in returning to Italian football. Journalist Graeme BaileyMeanwhile, it has been suggested that Juventus could bring him to Turin this winter as talks continue.

Since the Netherlands International He earns £105,000 a week On top of his hefty transfer fee, it would be unforgivable for him to look for a way out so quickly, although he will be emotional after his shameful substitution against Newcastle.

His replacement, Maino, is only paid a portion of his £20,000-a-week salary, and while the England star is targeting a big new deal in the next months or year, it is still a good barometer to underscore the issues behind Zirkzee's United career. .

Amorim set out to build something in Dream Theater and his vision couldn't be compromised by obsessed players. If the reports hold a grain of truth, Zirkzee should be sold.
