"We've previously reported on Mainoo being eyed by Chelsea and Tottenham, while there have also been links with other clubs such as Aston Villa, Everton, Napoli and Roma, as per the Daily Mail. Now the latest is that Man City are alongside Chelsea and Newcastle in pursuing Mainoo, according to TEAMtalk. The report suggests it's actually Newcastle who have the strongest interest, with Eddie Howe a big fan of the player."
"Still, it will be interesting to see where City's interest goes, as it would undoubtedly be a controversial move if Mainoo were to move from Old Trafford to the Etihad Stadium. It's not often we see the two Manchester clubs doing business together, but there have been some notable examples down the years. Carlos Tevez and Owen Hargreaves both moved directly between United and City, while other Red Devils greats such as Peter Schmeichel and Andrew Cole also played for both clubs."
Kobbie Mainoo, an unsettled Manchester United central midfielder and young England international, is attracting interest from multiple top clubs, including Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Everton, Napoli and Roma. Newcastle appear to hold the strongest interest, with Eddie Howe identified as a fan. A transfer from Old Trafford to the Etihad would be controversial given the Manchester rivalry, though several high-profile players have represented both clubs. Mainoo is widely regarded as capable of playing at the highest level, and limited starting opportunities under MUFC boss Ruben Amorim could prompt a move to a club offering regular minutes.
