Man Utd fans all saying same thing about Kobbie Mainoo performance vs West Ham following 2-0 defeat in the Premier League

Following Kobbie Mainoo’s performance against West Ham in the Red Devils’ most recent Premier League match, Manchester United supporters expressed their unambiguous opinions about the midfielder.

Graham Potter’s West Ham team arrived at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, marking the start of the Red Devils’ dreary 2024–25 Premier League campaign.

Just a few days after the Red Devils secured their spot in the 2025 Europa League final this season, Ruben Amorim’s team made their comeback to Premier League action.

The Red Devils will now play Tottenham in the final after United defeated Athletic Club 4-1 at Old Trafford in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

However, United fans on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, had big question marks about the 20-year-old midfielder’s role in the system against West Ham.

One X user said: “Starting to believe the idea of Mainoo is better than the reality of him in this system; he needs to be playing in a [three] man midfield.”

Somebody else argued: “Mainoo is receiving the ball in the wrong places. His feints and turns are nearly useless with how far he is up the field and the pressure he receives under. He needs to be in the pivot. He’s an 8, not a [No] 10. It hurts watching him play in this system.”

“Mainoo will be one of the casualties of this system,” a third United fan added.

Another Red Devils supporter suggested: “Kobbie Mainoo can only function in a 4-3-3 possession-based system because of how slow he is; he can’t function in this Amorim system because this system requires people who can run back-to-back and Kobbie Mainoo can’t do that because he is very slow.”

“Mainoo’s profile doesn’t fit this system, but he’s young and he will adapt,” somebody else claimed.

While a sixth added: “Don’t see any value which Mainoo adds as the right-10 in the system.”

And a seventh posted: “Am I the only person that thinks Mainoo [hasn’t] been the same player recently? Maybe the system?”

“Mainoo is a good player, but I don’t think he fits our system at all, TBH,” another tweeted
