Transfer talk surrounding Kobbie Mainoo is intensifying, with reports suggesting Manchester City are monitoring the Man Utd midfielder closely. The player has caught the attention of several scouts as other clubs prepare for a potentially active transfer window. Manchester City are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Barcelona, Everton and Aston Villa are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. So far this season, Manchester City are steady at both ends (2.14 goals scored per game, 0.86 goals conceded per game). The role for Kobbie Mainoo would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Man Utd have also been linked with Marc Guehi, Ruben Neves and Kirill Glebov while Manchester City are reportedly monitoring Senny Mayulu, Valentino Livramento and Denzel Dumfries.
