"Mainoo, who previously wished to leave Old Trafford on loan in the summer, is failing to gain first-team opportunities under Ruben Amorim so far this season and has started just one game for the Red Devils. Keen to get back into the England set-up ahead of the 2026 World Cup in the summer, Mainoo has been working hard at Carrington to prove his worth to Amorim, although so far it appears those aims have fallen on deaf ears."
"According to reports from teamTALK, United are once again expected to block the 20-year-old midfielder from leaving the club in January, should he wish to seek a move away. Information stated says the Stockport-born midfielder has over a dozen suitors from around Europe, with Serie A giants Napoli known to be long-term suitors of the Carrington academy graduate."
"It's been a disastrous fall from grace for Mainoo, who started in the Euro 2024 final for England against Spain, with Thomas Tuchel yet to hand the Manchester United man an international call-up during his tenure. With Amorim seemingly preferring club captain Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte, Mainoo is desperately trying to break into the Red Devils side, but could again try and force a move away from the club during the winter months."
Kobbie Mainoo has made five appearances this season, totaling 113 Premier League minutes and one EFL Cup start. He previously sought a loan move in the summer but has struggled to secure regular first-team football under Ruben Amorim. Mainoo is training to re-enter the England setup ahead of the 2026 World Cup after starting the Euro 2024 final. Manchester United intend to prevent a January departure despite interest from over a dozen European clubs, including Napoli. The Stockport-born midfielder came through the club academy and has a contract at Old Trafford until 2027.
