Kobbie Mainoo looks increasingly likely to leave Manchester United in the final week of the transfer window, with multiple reports suggesting he could secure a cut-price move to one of Europe’s elite.
Barely one year ago, Mainoo started for England against Spain in the final of Euro 2024. A couple of months earlier, he scored the decisive goal as United beat Manchester City to lift the FA Cup at Wembley. Club icon Paul Scholes hailed him as “the nearest thing I’ve seen to [Zinedine] Zidane” and wasn’t widely ridiculed.
