• Multiple reports say Antonio Conte wants a swift agreement once the window opens to accelerate Mainoo’s move.
• Mainoo has played about 113 Premier League minutes this season without a start, underscoring his limited role at Manchester United.

• Newcastle United and Aston Villa are monitoring developments, with some reporting suggesting United could opt to loan him abroad rather than bolster domestic rivals.
