Kobbie Mainoo is considering leaving Manchester United before the closure of the transfer window

• Mainoo is exploring the possibility of a transfer due to the lack of playing time
• Manchester United is looking to loan him out to prevent the strengthening of rivals
• Real and Atletico have shown interest in the young midfielder

Kobbie Mainoo, a 20-year-old midfielder for Manchester United, is considering the possibility of leaving the club before the transfer window closes on January 1, 2025. After two matches in the new season, which he played off the bench, the player expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of playing time.

Preliminary discussions regarding a possible transfer are already taking place, and Mainoo is open to a temporary move to another club, including abroad. Clubs such as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have shown interest in the young player; however, Manchester United does not plan to release him on a permanent basis.

Under the management of new coach Ruben Amorim, Mainoo is not included in the main squad, as the coach favors Bruno Fernandes in the role of central midfielder. This suggests that the young player has not appeared on the pitch in any of this season's matches.

Amid interest from other clubs, Manchester United believes that a loan would be the best option to avoid weakening their squad in the Premier League. The club hopes that Mainoo will stay, but the situation may change in the final days of the transfer window.

Mainoo signed a contract for four years in the summer of 2023, and there is a possibility of an extension for another year. However, if the situation regarding playing time does not change, his desire to remain with the club may become a reality.
