Former Chelsea player Tony Cascarino believes Kobbie Menu has become confused in his new role under Ruben Amorim.
Menu has been moved into unfamiliar positions such as centre-forward. And attacking midfielder and has seen his form suffer significantly.
Cascarino believes Menu used to excel in his preferred role but now appears less confident and more afraid of losing the ball.
“Menu came into his first team with such confidence, he seemed to settle in easily,” Cascarino told โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที SPORT.
“When he first broke into the first-team he was very relaxed, confident. And knew what he wanted to do. “
Then he got into the England squad for the Euros and did very well, he didn’t look embarrassed. The level is very high but I watched Menu last night and I thought he looked confused and that’s not his fault, it’s the manager and the coaching staff. “
I saw he was passing the ball back too many times, he looked afraid of losing the ball. “It could be a result of the system Amorim is trying to create,” he
said. “I watch Menoune play and I feel like he’s not sure what he’s supposed to do on the pitch. I feel sorry for him because he’s only 19 and is learning as the game goes on. “
When he broke through, everything about his game seemed right, but now he’s been playing as a holding midfielder, an attacking midfielder and a striker, which is not his natural position. “
He’s the future of Manchester United, but now he’s playing in a role that’s not his natural.
