Napoli are close to signing Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo on loan. The 20-year-old England international has been struggling to get playing time under manager Ruben Amorim. Mainoo had tried to secure a loan switch before the summer transfer window closed, but it didn't materialize. Recently, Napoli's sporting director Giovanni Manna has been monitoring Mainoo's situation, and it appears a January move is now being considered. Napoli have a history of signing players from Manchester United, including Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund. Mainoo has made a few substitute appearances in the Premier League, but Amorim has indicated that he may not see much playing time for the club. Mainoo has taken steps to improve his performance, including hiring a personal coach and changing his personal chef. This suggests that a transfer could be on the horizon for the young player.
