Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are racing to sign Manchester United’s rising star Kobbie Mainoo on a one-season loan before the transfer window closes.
According to the Daily Mail, both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have shown interest in signing young Manchester United talent Kobbie Mainoo on a one-season loan deal. With the transfer window set to close early next week, this is considered the last opportunity for the two Spanish giants to take action.
Mainoo, who has impressed with his composure and versatility in midfield, has become one of the most promising prospects at Old Trafford. However, with fierce competition for places in Erik ten Hag’s squad, a loan move to La Liga could provide the youngster with valuable playing time and experience at the highest level.
Real Madrid sees Mainoo as a potential reinforcement to increase midfield depth, especially as the team looks to manage its packed schedule across multiple competitions. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid is also eager to strengthen its midfield options, with Diego Simeone believed to admire Mainoo’s work rate and tactical intelligence.
As the transfer deadline approaches, all eyes will be on whether Manchester United is willing to sanction a loan move — and if so, whether Mainoo will be donning the white of Real Madrid or the red-and-white stripes of Atletico in the coming season.
