After The Athletic’s David Ornstein said there is ‘no news’ on a new United deal for Mainoo on Sunday, the Daily Mail have stated we are at the front of the queue in trying to recruit the England international if he leaves Old Trafford.

CHELSEA are reportedly ‘leading the chase’ to sign Kobbie Mainoo in the event he leaves Manchester United and fails to agree a new contract with the Premier League giants.
He is a player that is now being tipped to become an absolute superstar of the game and there has even been some reports that Spanish giants Real Madrid are eyeing up a potential deal in the summer.
United are in a strong position when it comes to the 19-year-old as he still has more than two years left on his contract and the Red Devils have an option to extend it by a further 12 months.
Ornstein was asked to speak about the likelihood of United star Marcus Rashford leaving the club, before issuing an update on Mainoo’s contract situation – with his current terms running until 2027.
He said on NBC on Sunday: “If a departure is going to happen [for Rashford], a sale in particular, maybe it’s more likely in the summer, but it would represent pure profit, something we hear about so much, because he was an academy graduate. In the same way that Kobbie Mainoo might be, he’s out of contract in 2027 – no news on a new deal.
‘Alejandro Garnacho too, I don’t think anybody in that bracket is off the table.”
