The sensational protest by his brother

Tension around the player increased dramatically during the match between Manchester United and Bournemouth. As reported by Fabrizio Romano on his X profile, Jordan Mainoo, Kobbie’s brother, organized a protest in the stands at Old Trafford.

Wearing a black shirt, Jordan displayed an unmistakable message: “Free Kobbie Mainoo”, immediately attracting the attention of fans and the media. A symbolic and direct gesture that reflects the growing pressure on the English club and the player himself.

Napoli remains in pole position

Napoli, under the guidance of Antonio Conte, continues to closely follow the English midfielder. Mainoo would represent a quality reinforcement for the Azzurri midfield, where the Salento coach aims to add players capable of increasing the team’s competitiveness.

Tensions with Manchester United could speed up the negotiations, while the coming weeks are expected to be decisive in determining the young talent’s future. The Napoli option remains alive, and the Neapolitan club is closely monitoring every development in the affair.

In summary, Mainoo’s brother’s protest not only highlights the player’s state of discontent, but could also have a real impact on his possible departure for the Italian league.
