"I'm sure it's (handing Mainoo a new contract) something that Man United would definitely be interested in doing. They've been in talks with Mainoo for a while now over a new contract. Suggestions are now that contract talks have been put on hold because of his uncertain future at Old Trafford. We know Mainoo was interested in a move away in the summer window as he knew he wasn't going to be playing in Ruben Amorim's side."
"I don't think he's started a Premier League game so far this season. For United, on their part, they don't really want to lose Kobbie Mainoo, and that's why they blocked the move in the summer window and obviously I think they'd be reluctant to let him go in January as well because United want to be competing in that top four, if they can."
Negotiations over a new contract between Manchester United and Kobbie Mainoo have been paused amid uncertainty over his immediate future at Old Trafford. Mainoo sought a summer move after anticipating limited playing opportunities under Ruben Amorim. He has not started a Premier League game so far this season. Manchester United previously blocked a summer transfer and appear reluctant to sanction a January exit as they aim to compete for a top-four finish. The club remains interested in offering a new deal but has halted talks while the player's situation and potential desire for regular football are unresolved.
