According to the latest report from renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United never planned to allow Mainoo to leave permanently, and his contract will be a focal point in the coming months.
Romano noted that Kobbie Mainoo’s contract situation will remain a central topic in the months ahead, as he is now expected to stay at Manchester United following the immediate trust placed in him by Michael Carrick. The club had considered loaning him out for development opportunities but never intended a permanent transfer.
Previously, clubs including Napoli had inquired about Mainoo, with Napoli particularly eager to sign the player on loan from Manchester United at the time. The player himself was open to a move, but Manchester United never granted final approval for his departure.
