"Manchester United central midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has reportedly got a surprise new suitor in the form of Turkish club Besiktas. As we've previously reported, Mainoo has been of interest to Chelsea, Napoli and Bayern Munich, with plenty of interest emerging in the England international as he struggles for playing time under Ruben Amorim. It now seems we can add another name to the list, with Besiktas making contact to ask about a possible move for Mainoo, according to Sabah, as cited and translated by Sport Witness."
"United's stance has previously been understood as being that they don't want to let Mainoo go, but the player will surely feel differently if Amorim is not going to give him more of a chance. The 20-year-old looked a superb talent when he first broke into the United first-team, having come up through the club's historically successful academy. Many fans will be surprised that Mainoo is now so far down the pecking order, but at the same time if the club don't want to let him go then there's not a lot he can do about it."
"Speaking recently, Amorim suggested he wanted to keep Mainoo and that the youngster was part of his plans. Kobbie Mainoo will have the opportunity he has all the time, Amorim said, as quoted by Sky Sports. He played in different positions we talked about the position of Casemiro, he can do that. If you play with a three, he can play like we did in the last game with the position of Mason Mount, he can play there. He"
Kobbie Mainoo has attracted new transfer interest from Turkish club Besiktas alongside reported interest from Chelsea, Napoli and Bayern Munich. The England international is struggling for playing time under manager Ruben Amorim and could seek a move to boost minutes this month. Manchester United are understood to prefer keeping Mainoo, but the player may desire more opportunities if Amorim does not provide them. Mainoo broke into the first team from United's academy and initially impressed as a talented 20-year-old. Amorim has said Mainoo remains part of his plans and can play multiple positions.
