Overview
- West Ham contacted Manchester United about six‑month loans for Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee, according to Fabrizio Romano.
- Romano reports United are not opening negotiations on those enquiries, and Football Insider says the club still plan to keep Mainoo.
- Mainoo has not started a Premier League match this season and played only 38 minutes across United’s last three games.
- Amorim explained that fewer fixtures without European competition make it harder to rotate and hand Mainoo more game time.
- Napoli and Newcastle are monitoring Mainoo ahead of January, while Zirkzee has also struggled for form and minutes this term.
