Tottenham and Manchester City are keen to sign Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo when the transfer window reopens in January, according to TEAMtalk.
The 20-year-old has struggled to find regular opportunities and is set to leave Manchester United. He hopes to play every week. He’s a promising young player with a bright future, and staying on the Manchester United bench won’t help him improve.
Spurs could use Kobbie Mainoo
On the other hand, Tottenham need more quality in the middle of the park. They need someone who can control the tempo of the game deep down and add more composure to the team. Mainoo could be the ideal solution for them.
He could form a strong partnership alongside Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr in the future. They are looking to build a team for the future, and signing the 20-year-old would be a masterstroke. Mainoo has shown his quality in the Premier League in the past, and there is no doubt that he could become a key player for Tottenham.
It will be interesting to see if they can make the most of this opportunity and secure his signature.
Man City and Napoli eyeing Mainoo
Meanwhile, Manchester City are also closely monitoring the situation. They need more depth in the middle of the park, and the 20-year-old could be a very useful acquisition. However, it seems unlikely that Manchester United will agree to sell the player to a bitter rival.
Additionally, European clubs like Napoli are also interested in the player. Whether they can close the deal remains to be seen. The player is keen to secure a January start so he can play more often and secure his place in the England squad for the World Cup. The report also claims that Manchester United will only allow his departure if they can replace him properly. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
We recently covered reports claiming that Mainoo wanted to move to Real Madrid.
