The pair started together in United\u2019s last three Premier League games, helping the Red Devils win all nine points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>United\u2019s winning run has eased the pressure on Amorim. However, it has also somewhat vindicated his decision to leave fan favourite Mainoo on the bench.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The highly-rated midfielder requested to depart Old Trafford in the summer and attracted interest from several clubs, <a href=\"https:\/\/thepeoplesperson.com\/2025\/10\/15\/kobbie-mainoo-united-ace-open-to-real-madrid-loan-in-january-300022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">including Real Madrid<\/a>. At the time, the Mancunians refused to entertain any exit talks.<\/p>\n<p>Man United open to Mainoo swap deal to land Endrick<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/defensacentral.com\/real_madrid\/manchester-united-ha-ofrecido-cesion-jugador-cambio-endrick_323317_102.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Defensa Central<\/a>, United are now willing to loan out Mainoo to Real in the winter transfer window. However, they want Los Blancos to send Endrick on loan in return.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua Zirkzee is thought to be deeply frustrated at his situation under Amorim, and will consider a move away from United in January. The Dutchman\u2019s exit would leave Benjamin Sesko as the only senior option up front, potentially compelling Ineos to look for a new striker.<\/p>\n<p>This predicament has seemingly led to Endrick landing on United\u2019s radar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian has struggled for regular gametime under Xabi Alonso, finding himself behind Kylian Mbappe and Gonzalo Garc\u00eda in the pecking order at Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n<p>Endrick leaning towards Lyon<\/p>\n<p>Still, Endrick, known for his impeccable ball-striking and movement, is admired by a number of top clubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepeoplesperson.com\/2025\/10\/29\/endrick-lyon-closing-in-on-deal-for-man-united-target-fabrizio-romano-300462\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">report<\/a> claiming Olympique Lyon have opened talks to sign Endrick on loan in January.<\/p>\n<p>Defensa Central suggest the 19-year-old prefers to move to Ligue 1 despite interest from United.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Further, Real aren\u2019t believed to be too keen on signing Mainoo mid-season, meaning this swap deal is unlikely to get off the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Featured image Denis Doyle via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
