Man Utd Rejects Loan Bids from Three Premier League Clubs for Kobbie Mainoo

During the summer 2025 transfer window, several clubs showed strong interest in Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who sought a loan move to gain more playing time. Three Premier League clubs—Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Everton—officially tried to sign Mainoo on loan, alongside inquiries from Italian sides Napoli and Roma, French club Marseille, and reportedly up to 15 clubs in total. Despite this, Manchester United and manager Ruben Amorim refused to let Mainoo leave, emphasizing the need for him to fight for his place amid injury issues to other key midfielders. Amorim expressed confidence in Mainoo's value to the squad, encouraging him to compete for playing time, with the player making limited appearances so far this season. Mainoo’s situation is being closely watched, with former players like Chris Waddle urging him to remain professional and earn his starting spot. Separately, Turkish club Besiktas has renewed their €25 million interest in Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard following Arsenal’s recent signings.
