Man Utd midfielder Kobbie Mainoo could be on his way to Real Madrid as the Spanish side are keen to invest in a permanent move, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The England international has not started in the Premier League for\u00a0Man Utd<\/a>\u00a0this term with Ruben Amorim preferring other players in midfield.<\/p>\n Mainoo,\u00a0who has been linked with a loan move to Napoli, has made 11 appearances off the substitutes\u2019 bench in the Premier League \u2013 but his only start in all competitions came as Man Utd were knocked out of the League Cup on penalties by Grimsby Town earlier this year.<\/p>\n Amorim announced publicly that Mainoo would be competing with captain Bruno Fernandes for a starting berth this season, leading to the Man Utd midfielder looking for a way out before the summer transfer deadline.<\/p>\n However, Man Utd director of football Jason Wilcox managed to persuade Mainoo to fight for his place in Amorim\u2019s side.<\/p>\n Amorim has not provided the England international enough minutes in the first team ahead of the World Cup and there are rumours he could go out on loan.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Who is in the wrong between \u2018hurting\u2019 Bruno Fernandes and uncourageous Manchester United in \u00a3100m row?<\/a><\/p>\n Mainoo\u2019s unhappiness is unlikely to change soon and Spanish website Fichajes insists that<\/a> Real Madrid \u2018will pay\u2019 \u20ac90m (\u00a379m) for the Man Utd midfielder.<\/p>\n The La Liga side are \u2018preparing to compete for this signing in the next summer transfer window\u2019 and Mainoo is \u2018one of the names gaining momentum\u2019 at Real Madrid.<\/p>\n Fichajes adds:\u00a0\u2018The biggest obstacle is\u00a0Manchester United. The English club has no intention of easily parting ways with one of its most promising assets. Although he\u2019s not a guaranteed starter, those at Old Trafford believe\u00a0Kobbie Mainoo\u00a0can be important in the medium term. That\u2019s why they won\u2019t make his departure easy.\u2019<\/p>\n Mainoo and his representatives view a transfer to Spain \u2018favourably\u2019 with the report continuing: \u2018Furthermore, competing in\u00a0LaLiga\u00a0and the Champions League would provide an ideal platform for him to establish himself among the best young midfielders on the continent. At Valdebebas, they believe that the Bernab\u00e9u environment can accelerate his footballing development, provided he has a well-defined role.\u2019<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Mainoo\u2019s brother posted a picture of himself showing up at Old Trafford for the Red Devils\u2019 4-4 draw against Bournemouth on Monday night with a \u2018FREE KOBBIE MAINOO\u2019 t-shirt on<\/a>.<\/p>\n And now a reliable account on X has claimed that Mainoo will be talked to by Man Utd officials after his brother\u2019s post on social media.<\/p>\n
