Serie A Giants Emerge as Surprise Contenders to Sign Man Utd Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo

Serie A giants Napoli have reportedly emerged as surprise contenders to sign Kobbie Mainoo as interest in the Manchester United midfielder intensifies ahead of the transfer deadline.

Mainoo, 20, has fallen out of favour at Man United with manager Ruben Amorim unable to fit the midfielder in his preferred tactical system.

The England international is understood to be weighing up his options with several clubs in the Premier League and abroad interested.

According to the Daily Mail, Napoli are keen on signing Mainoo on an initial loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.

Napoli are also said to be close to signing fellow Man United outcast Rasmus Hojlund having had immense success with Scott McTominay.
