"Leeds United have emerged as unlikely contenders in the late running for Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, with the latest reports suggesting they may make a late attempt to secure the young English talent on loan. This comes amid interest in the 20-year-old, who has seen his playing opportunities at Old Trafford dwindle under manager Ruben Amorim. The midfielder has asked to leave the Red Devils in a loan move this summer."
"He wants more playing time since he wants to prepare in the best possible way this season in order to challenge for a place in the England squad for the World Cup next year.

Manchester United are unlikely to sanction a late exit given Mainoo's squad importance.
