NAPOLI WANTS KOBBIE MAINOO: MAN UTD STAR CONSIDERS JANUARY EXIT
Napoli is interested in Man Utd's Kobbie Mainoo, who is struggling for minutes under Ruben Amorim. Former star Nicky Butt warned the club not to waste the academy talent.
Manchester United's manager, Ruben Amorim, has some choices ahead of the January transfer window.
When January rolls around, Manchester United can shake up its squad. This winter presents an opportunity to get some fresh blood. If needed, the Red Devils could also let some players leave.
Over the summer, Amorim was busy in the market, picking up players like Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and Matheus Cunha. The former Sporting Lisbon coach took over at Old Trafford in November 2024, replacing Erik ten Hag.
Napoli is Interested in Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo
According to Football Italia, Napoli has ‘asked’ about signing Kobbie Mainoo from United. The Italian team wants the 20-year-old, who is contracted at Old Trafford until June 2027, but his long-term future is not certain.
Mainoo is an England international with 10 caps. He has seen less playing time with his current team recently under Amorim. So, it wouldn’t be a shock if he moved to a different team.
Born in Stockport, he came up through United's academy and played regularly for their youth teams. He made his first-team debut in January 2023 in a Carabao Cup game against Charlton Athletic. Since then, he has played 81 games in all competitions, including nine this season, scoring seven goals.
Will Manchester United Sell Kobbie Mainoo?
United has a tough call to make about Mainoo. No one questions his skill, and he has room to improve. But he does not seem to fit into Amorim's plans, which is unfortunate for the player.
A move to Napoli would be a new challenge. They won the Italian league last season and are in the Champions League. In Naples, he would team up again with Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund.
Former United player Nicky Butt shared his thoughts on Mainoo, according to Sky Sports: “I’m worried about him because he’s a star. He joined the England team at 18/19 and played great in the Euros.
“He’s been with Man United’s academy since he was seven. He was there when I was the academy manager. I know him well. I know his talent. The crazy thing is, if Kobbie Mainoo played for a team like Crystal Palace, or any club other than Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, or Chelsea (where it’s hard to sign their players), Man United would want to sign him in January for a big fee.
“It’s sad because I know how much he loves football and the club. More importantly, we all know how talented he is, and it would be a shame to waste it.”
EX-CAPTAIN NEVILLE CLAIMS SUBSTITUTIONS MADE MANCHESTER UNITED "WORSE" AGAINST WOLVES
Gary Neville slams Ruben Amorim’s "weird" substitutions and tactical shifts after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with bottom-side Wolves.
Gary Neville said that the performance of Manchester United in their match against winless Wolves was ‘the baddest of the bad.’
United would have moved fourth in the league with a win at Old Trafford last night, although Wolves, who had two points in 18 games before kickoff, ended their record of 11 straight losses with a 1-1 draw.
Amorim’s team had been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by a League Two team, Grimsby, in August, but Neville was convinced that United had hit rock bottom in a game that could have been even more one-sided were it not for two important saves by Senne Lammens.
“That was the baddest of the bad," the former United captain declared on the Gary Neville podcast.
“They weren’t just booed off at the final whistle. The fans waited in the stadium to continue to boo them. They’ve gone backwards.”
United had won at Newcastle 1-0 on Boxing Day, despite being plagued by an injury list that already lacked skipper Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Matthijs de Ligt, as well as three players on African Cup of Nations duty.
But they remained flat right from the first whistle, and the header by Ladislav Krejci just before the half bottled Joshua Zirkzee's deflected shot.
Amorim’s formation choice of 3-4-3 was brought into focus once more as the Portuguese opted to go back to his preferred tactic of four at the back against Newcastle.
“This isn’t right. I’ve watched enough of United over the last five or six weeks to know what looks right and what isn’t right,” Neville had declared 20 minutes into his commentary on Sky Sports.
“Because, when I see that we go back (to three at the back) after five minutes tonight, I’m thinking, no, Ruben, why have you done that?
"The manager has to look at that and think, I got that wrong. I complicated it."
However, Amorim decided to substitute Zirkzee at halftime and brought on an 18-year-old Jack Fletcher, who made his third appearance at the senior level.
Regarding substitutions made by Amorim, Neville further added, “They made Manchester United worse. Every single substitution was ridiculous.”
‘If Zirkzee was injured, and it was a tactical substitution, that was a very poor one.’ But Zirkzee isn't Eric Cantona, not by a long shot, and he had to get out there for physicality, for presence, for experience.”
SEE LISANDRO MARTINEZ’S FURIOUS REACTION AFTER MAN UTD’S SHOCK WOLVES DRAW
Lisandro Martinez demands more after Man Utd’s 1-1 draw with bottom-placed Wolves. United ended 2025 sixth in the Premier League.
Stand-in captain Lisandro Martinez was mad that Manchester United dropped points against Wolves, who are at the bottom of the league.
United came into the last game of 2025 after a good win against Newcastle on Boxing Day and were expected to easily beat Wolves.
Joshua Zirkzee scored first for United, but they didn't take their chances. Ladislav Krejci's header tied the game for Wolves, 1-1.
It was only their third point in 19 games, and it stopped their 11-game losing streak. United fans booed at the end of the game.
When Martinez was asked if it felt like a disappointing point, he said, 100 percent.
We are very disappointed. We can't keep drawing or losing points at home. We have to win.
We want to be at the top, competing with the best.
We can't drop points in games like this. We just have to accept it and be hungry for the next game.
Martinez was captain again because Bruno Fernandes is still recovering from an injury.
When United coach Ruben Amorim was asked about injured players for the game against Leeds on Sunday, he didn't give much away. Leeds are really wanting to beat United for the first time since 2010.
Martinez said to MUTV, You can either make excuses, or you can be strong and say, 'We're dropping points, so we need to go for the next one and show what we can do.'
We need to work together and do the easy things to get the three points.
United is in sixth place in the league at the end of 2025, only two points behind Liverpool for the last Champions League spot. Liverpool has a game in hand.
They could be in a better position if they had been better in both boxes. Leeds has been playing well lately, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin doing great up front.
Martinez added, It's about us. I don't like to think about other teams.
I'm thinking about what we can do to get better as a team every day, and we have to learn from this game.
