"I think it's very unfair and I think that Mainoo, look, he's a squandered talent in that sense. I just don't think he's, for some reason, he hasn't caught Amorim's eye. He thinks he doesn't fit the style. I think that they decided that Adam Wharton is going to be one of their targets and I think that Mainoo may find himself reinventing himself at Chelsea."
"There was a lot of excitement at Man United when Mainoo broke into the first team fold during the 2023-24 season, and understandably so. He looked like one of the best talents in England, as was shown by him starting for the national team at Euro 2024. If he can recapture that form elsewhere, Man United may certainly end up rue his departure, were it to happen in 2026."
Kobbie Mainoo has not started a Premier League match this season for Manchester United and has made 11 appearances, ten as substitute appearances, indicating a marginal role under manager Ruben Amorim. Multiple clubs, including Bayern Munich, have shown interest, but a domestic Premier League move appears more likely than a Bayern transfer. Manchester United plan to sign Adam Wharton in 2026, a move that could accelerate Mainoo’s exit. Chelsea are identified as the most likely destination, where Mainoo could revive his career. Mainoo previously broke into the first team in 2023–24 and started for England at Euro 2024.
