Ruben Amorim<\/a> has challenged Kobbie Mainoo<\/a> to show he is worth \u00a3200,000-a-week amid his uncertain future at Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mainoo, who currently earns \u00a320,000-a-week,\u00a0reportedly wants a 1,000 per cent pay rise to put pen to paper on a new deal at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> are thought to be ready to pounce should United decide to cash in<\/a> on Mainoo during the January transfer window or again in the summer.<\/p>\n

While Amorim doesn’t want to sell the talented teenager – he admits it will be hard for the Red Devils to keep all of their homegrown players<\/a> – with United eager to comply with\u00a0Premier League<\/a>\u00a0spending regulations.<\/p>\n

Amorim has now decided to send a fresh message to Mainoo ahead of United’s FA Cup third-round clash with Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday, challenging the 19-year-old to go up a level amid his contract dispute.<\/p>\n

‘I think Kobbie Mainoo is improving a lot during the last matches,’ Amorim said. <\/p>\n

‘But I think you guys feel like he is the finished product – and he is not. He has so much potential to grow up even more.<\/p>\n

‘He is really really good but he can be so much better. I think he is improving, all the players are improving, all the players are important for me, no matter whether they worked with me in the past.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Amorim says has been watching film footage of the Sir Alex Ferguson years at United ahead of the FA Cup showdown with Arsenal.<\/p>\n
