According to reportfrom, Manchester United plans to reject the departure requests of Mainoo and Zirkzee as Mbeumo, Amad Diallo, and Mazraoui will all participate in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Due to the expected shortage of squad depth, Manchester United is preparing to reject the departure requests of multiple players during the January transfer window. Mainoo and Zirkzee have had limited playing time this season, but both will play key roles during the Christmas fixtures.

Manchester United will be short of several key forwards in December - Mbeumo and Amad Diallo are almost certain to be called up by their respective national teams for the Africa Cup of Nations. Wing-back Mazraoui is also expected to play for host nation Morocco.

The current Africa Cup of Nations will kick off before Christmas, and Mbeumo and Amad Diallo are likely to play for Cameroon and Ivory Coast on Christmas Eve. The group stage will end on New Year's Eve, and the final is scheduled for January 18. The winter transfer window will close on February 2.
