Mainoo’s future unclear: January exit from Man United, Napoli keen | OneFootball

Kobbie Mainoo could be one of the hottest names in the upcoming winter transfer window. According to the English portal Football Insider, the Manchester United midfielder, born in 2005, is reportedly considering leaving the Red Devils as early as January in order to find more consistent playing time ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Napoli, Mainoo remains in their sights: the Englishman chasing a World Cup call-up

The young English talent, who has shown steady growth and convincing performances when called upon, fears he may not have enough opportunities to convince coach Southgate. Hence the possibility of a temporary or permanent transfer in the January window. Among the interested clubs is Napoli, ready to join the race to secure one of the most promising prospects in English football. However, the Azzurri are not alone: Juventus, West Ham, Newcastle, and Tottenham are also closely following the midfielder’s situation.

At the moment, however, Manchester United does not seem willing to let the player go, as he is considered one of the pillars on which to build the team’s future. For the transfer to go through, Mainoo would have to personally push for a move, hoping to find the necessary playing time elsewhere so as not to miss out on the World Cup train.
