Desire to finalise Manchester United transfer 'within a couple of weeks' - Sorted ahead of January for winter exit
Kobbie Mainoo didn’t play a single minute for Manchester United in their 1-1 draw against West Ham.
Ruben Amorim substitutions in the game added to the weight of feeling the Englishman’s time is up, having last started a game back in August.
Even if the Portuguese manager doesn’t see value in Mainoo, Italian champions Napoli see him as a key target for January.
La Repubblica – relayed by AreaNapoli, report that due to financial issues, the Partenopei can only execute loan deals next month. That is what they’re aiming for with the Manchester United player.
It is believed that the 20-year-old is also considering a temporary move to reinvigorate his career. There’s been contradictions of that, with some Italian claims stating Mainoo would prefer a sale.
Napoli are facing a major injury crisis in midfield. Billy Gilmour, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Kevin de Bruyne are all out of action.
That is why Antonio Conte’s side want to execute a move ‘within a couple of weeks’. They are playing on an ‘emergency basis’ right now and need signings as soon as possible.
The multiple injuries would help Mainoo get a lot of game time at Napoli.
The Manchester United player starred for England at the Euro 2024. He would hope to play for the Three Lions again at the World Cup and playing under Conte can go a long way in helping.
