"With several clubs already showing interest in signing him and the player looking to move away from Old Trafford to get more playing time, a deal could be reached to allow him to leave the club in January. Mainoo's situation at Old Trafford has grown increasingly tense. Once seen as one of United's brightest midfield prospects, the 20-year-old England international is now struggling for minutes under manager Ruben Amorim."
"This season, he has featured only sporadically, recording very few starts in the Premier League despite decent performances in previous campaigns. Frustration with limited playing time has reportedly convinced Mainoo to seek temporary pastures elsewhere so he can rebuild momentum and, importantly, boost his chances of rejoining the senior England squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Clubs such as Napoli and West Ham United have been linked with a January loan move for Mainoo, with assurances of regular game time."
"Italian side Napoli, in particular, are reported to be serious, they are willing to cover his wages and see him as a useful boost amid injury problems in midfield. While Mainoo is keen on a loan, United's stance remains cautious. Despite his request this past summer to leave in search of regular minutes, a plea that was turned down, the club appears reluctant to sanction a permanent departure just yet."
