Overview

• Mainoo has yet to start a Premier League match this season and has logged 113 league minutes under Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 setup, per recent reports.
• He asked for a summer loan to secure game time but United refused, and club guidance suggests a similar stance could be taken in January.
• Napoli remain in contact with Mainoo’s camp about a possible loan, according to Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
• Newcastle United continue to monitor the situation after being told in the summer he was unavailable, with Eddie Howe viewed as an admirer.
• Chelsea and Tottenham are also tracking the England international, with multiple reports indicating a winter move is unlikely and a summer approach more plausible.
