Ruben Amorim takes aim at 'entitlement' of Man United's young stars'... and responds to Kobbie Mainoo T-shirt controversy

Ruben Amorim has criticised Manchester United’s young players for having a sense of ‘entitlement’, and told Kobbie Mainoo to stay and fight for his place at Old Trafford.

Mainoo’s half-brother Jordan Mainoo-Hames stoked the tension between the England midfielder and United over his future and lack of playing time by wearing a ‘Free Kobbie Mainoo’ T-shirt at Monday’s 4-4 draw with Bournemouth.

Amorim won’t take any action against Mainoo because of something a family member did, but urged the unhappy 20-year-old to ignore the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt who have advised him to leave United in January for the good of his career.
