Journalist Jason Soutar revealed that Newcastle are interested in Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and have inquired about the conditions of a potential deal with United. Soutar also mentioned that the United midfielder is open to the possibility of leaving Old Trafford. Mainoo has not participated in Manchester United's first two Premier League games of the 2025/26 season, against Arsenal and Fulham, which has fueled speculation about his future at the club. He is anticipated to make his first appearance in the Carabao Cup against Grimsby. Despite interest from several Premier League clubs, including Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Everton, Manchester United reportedly prefer to offer Mainoo a new contract rather than sell him. However, Mainoo has concerns about his role and future at the club, which might influence his decision on whether to remain or move.
