Overview
- Rúben Amorim said he would be “really pleased” if Kobbie Mainoo approached him about a January loan and reiterated that the team comes first.
- Mainoo has yet to start in the Premier League this season, logging just 183 minutes across 10 substitute appearances.
- Napoli remain in contact over a loan, but Il Mattino reports Amorim has “put up a wall” to a move despite the player’s openness to leaving.
- Chelsea and Bayern Munich are also linked, with multiple outlets describing broad interest and differing views on which club leads the chase.
- Manchester Evening News notes Toby Collyer’s return from a loan injury could free United to sanction an exit, while potential AFCON absences may reinforce Amorim’s desire to keep depth.
