Napoli Keep January Move for Man United’s Kobbie Mainoo Under Review

Manchester United will require suitable midfield cover before sanctioning any loan, with the decision in the hands of their top brass.

Overview

  • Mainoo has yet to start a Premier League match this season and has been used sparingly under Ruben Amorim.
  • Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna said the club will evaluate a potential January move for the 20-year-old, acknowledging long-standing interest.
  • Reports indicate at least a dozen clubs are ready to take Mainoo on loan next month, with Napoli viewed as his preferred destination.
  • United are understood to want a replacement in place before approving an exit, with final approval expected to involve Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox and Amorim.
  • Journalists say Mainoo is likely to push harder for a move after others have recently earned chances, while former coach Rene Meulensteen believes a January loan is a strong possibility; separate reports claim Bayern Munich are monitoring.
