Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is in advanced discussions to go to Napoli during the January transfer window, according to Sky Sports Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri. The Man United academy graduate wanted to leave the Old Trafford club during the summer transfer window, but the Red Devils held on to the 20-year-old and refused to let him go. Mainoo is seen as a prized possession at the Theatre of Dreams, and he is the only one of the trio Sir Jim Ratcliffe once deemed unsellable after the departures of Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.
He has been told to fight for his place but the England international midfielder wants out and is convinced he can succeed under Napoli manager Antonio Conte having struggled under Man United head coach Ruben Amorim. His representatives have held a meeting with the Red Devils recently, and while Man United were only open to allowing Mainoo leave on loan, a compromise could be reached.
