Overview
- Mainoo has yet to start a Premier League match this season and has logged just 183 league minutes across 10 substitute outings.
- Ruben Amorim publicly defended leaving the 20-year-old out, saying he selects the players he believes will win matches regardless of status.
- Goal, citing the Daily Mail, reports a dozen clubs have enquired and that Mainoo favors Napoli on loan, though any move requires United’s sign-off.
- Reports on Napoli’s stance are mixed, with Italian outlets suggesting caution and a separate claim of a “99%” deal described without firm sourcing.
- United greats Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Rio Ferdinand have urged Mainoo to leave for regular football, as fans loudly backed him during a late cameo in the 4-1 win at Wolves.
