Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly open to leaving Manchester United with a preferred move in mind as Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich line up for a transfer as the end of the summer transfer window beckons.
Mainoo has been an unused substitute in United’s first two Premier League games of the season against Arsenal and Fulham, and clubs across Europe have shown interest in signing him.
According to numerous reports, the player has grown dissatisfied with his bit-part job under Ruben Amorim. Video of a despondent Mainoo departing Craven Cottage on Sunday seems to confirm that the rumors are true.
Which teams are considering the 20-year-old? Long-term admirers Chelsea were strongly linked with a move in May.

Recent rumours claim Mainoo may be interested in exploring a transfer.
Real Madrid and local rivals Atletico are thought to be keeping an eye on his status in the final days of the transfer market.
‘There is a feeling’ that United would now accept approximately £45 million, or possibly even less, this summer, according to The Athletic as reported by Sport Bible, which claims that Mainoo would prefer a move to the continent over a Premier League stay.
According to the report, he has already talked to teammates about the possibility of leaving his boyhood club this summer.
Amorim Chose Not To Bring On Mainoo Against Fulham
In their 1-1 tie with Fulham at Craven Cottage, Amorim utilized all five substitutes, but he decided not to bring on Mainoo, instead subbing Harry Maguire and Ayden Heaven in the closing minutes.
Later on, Amorim would give an explanation for why he chose not to use Mainoo.
“He is fighting for the position now with Bruno (Fernandes),” Amorim said.
“And I change to two midfielders, I left Mason Mount there because we want to score a goal, and when I change I felt the team needs to have one holding midfielder near Bruno.”
