Real Madrid eyeing stunning summer move for Kobbie Mainoo – Man United News And Transfer News

6

Manchester United conceded a late equaliser yet again in the Premier League, this time against Liverpool at Old Trafford but the performance once again was far from good.

in fact, the hosts should ideally have got nothing from the game with the Merseysiders having 28 shots as compared to United’s nine while also commanding 68 percent of the ball.

They created chances galore as Erik ten Hag’s faulty style of play was once capitalised upon with the visitors encountering hardly any resistance from the United midfield.

Luis Diaz handed Jurgen Klopp’s men the lead and they could have grabbed quite a few more if not for profligate finishing and impressive goalkeeping from Andre Onana.

Another disappointing outing

Individual brilliance from skipper Bruno Fernandes and a brilliant curling effort from wonderkid Kobbie Mainoo handed an unlikely lead to the Red Devils but Mohamed Salah equalised from the spot late on as both teams shared the points.

It was once again clear that the manager’s style does not work and it is not sustainable to allow the opposition to attack so easily while hoping to catch them on the break.

It has been a disappointing season so far and even a sixth-placed finish looks beyond this team on current form and the only silver linings has been the emergence of academy starlets who have grabbed their chance in the first team with both hands.

Alejandro Garnacho has been a standout on the wings, and recently became the most prolific teen across Europe while even managing to impress in an unfamiliar right wing role.

Willy Kambwala, who made only his second start in the English top flight on Sunday, impressed with his recovery pace and his fighting spirit.

Mainoo’s breakthrough season

But the biggest positive this season has been the breakthrough of Kobbie Mainoo, who is now a bonafide star and is on course to cap the season off with a European Championship call-up for England.

Against the fierce rivals, the England international was solid with the ball but his sublime second-half goal was a thing of beauty, reminiscent of Federico Macheda’s winner all those years ago.

He received a cutback from Aaron Wan-Bissaka inside the box, span past Curtis Jones and curled in past a helpless Caoimhin Kelleher, which highlights why he could be at his best playing further forward.

His Wolves stunner and now this is exactly why all of Europe is going crazy for him including La Liga giants Real Madrid as per Spanish publication Don Diario who even call him “the new Camavinga”.

The report states that ultimately Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are going to leave the Bernabeu and the Los Blancos are attentive to the market.

Chief scout Juni Calafat has recommended to club president Florentino Perez to go after the United academy graduate as he can solve the problem for the long term.

Real want Mainoo

“The departure of the German and the Croatian will be very painful. They are two legends, not only of the white team, but of world football, and the gap is going to be practically impossible to fill. That is why they are already very attentive to the market, analyzing the players who have the most potential in case they end up leaving in the future.

“Madrid has been eyeing Kobbie Mainoo for some time and Florentino believes he could be a very interesting signing. The young Manchester United midfielder shares the versatility of Camavinga, capable of playing as a pivot, or playing further forward, which has led to comparisons with the French footballer. Furthermore, both also have the same representative.”

Recently, The Peoples Person had relayed a report which stated Barcelona were also eyeing the 18-year-old. This is exactly why the club are so eager to tie down the youngster on a long-term deal.

Mainoo is a legend in the making and there is no way he is going anywhere anytime soon. Real are starting to size up United’s youngsters including Garnacho, who could leave in the future but again, not anytime soon.
