Overview

  • Reports from UK outlets say Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are keeping tabs on Mainoo and considering a season-long loan, though no formal bids have been reported.
  • Multiple reports relay that Manchester United are expected to decide on Mainoo’s short-term future within the next 48 hours.
  • Coverage says Mainoo is open to leaving to secure regular first-team minutes, with a willingness to join a Champions League club.
  • Ruben Amorim said Mainoo is competing with Bruno Fernandes for a spot and stated the midfielder’s future should be at Manchester United.
  • Reporting indicates talks over a new contract have stalled since a rejected offer in January, and separate analyses suggest United’s limited midfield options make a loan unlikely.
