Because of this, he hasn’t played for the team this season, but he should get some good playing time in the next few months. It’s great that Mainoo can play anywhere in the middle of the field.Probably won’t start tonight against Copenhagen, but he could come on in the second half if United is ahead by two or three goals and are very safe.
