Amorim explained that he chose to play Mainoo in the previous match against Everton because of his ability to find spaces near the box and score goals, particularly alongside teammate Bruno.

The manager's focus is on winning games as a team, and he wants to help all his players achieve their goals, including playing in the World Cup.

When asked about Mainoo's potential as a starter, Amorim stated, "I see him as a starter like the other guys. I just have to make a choice and then in the end, it's not been Kobbie."

Amorim also drew a comparison with teammate Casemiro, who was not initially playing but eventually started, highlighting his focus on winning games regardless of who is on the field.

Ultimately, Amorim's goal is to win games and make decisions based on what he believes will help the team succeed.
