Chelsea are ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo during the summer transfer window. The Red Devils are making many of their senior team players, including important players with big potential, available for sale.
Mainoo is one of the surprising names continuously circulating in the transfer rumour mill despite his impressive rise at United. The 20-year-old established himself as a first-team player under former manager Erik ten Hag, with a massive expectation on him.
Many fans and pundits believed that United could build a team around the English youngsters, rejuvenating the struggling Manchester giant. However, Mainoo has struggled to maintain his position in the starting lineup under the new manager, Ruben Amorim, last season.
Chelsea are waiting for an opportunity to sign Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo during the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils plummeted to 16th position in the Premier League and also lost the Europa League final last season. The team’s failure to adjust to Amorim’s tactical demands was a mitigating factor that cannot be allowed to repeat itself.
United have decided to keep complete faith in Amorim and are ready to back him in the summer transfer window. However, the financial problems restrict them from buying in bulk, and they need to sell players to raise their funds.
According to The I Paper, Chelsea are ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign United midfielder Mainoo this summer. Early reports suggested that the Red Devils have put a valuation of £70m on the 20-year-old prodigy, shocking the fanbase.
United fans want their best academy players to stay and build their legacy at the club, continuing their long tradition. Trusting in the academy, players played a pivotal role in the successful reign of the legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
