Aston Villa and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United in the final days of the summer transfer window.

Manchester United may sell Kobbie Mainoo permanently this summer. According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Aston Villa and Newcastle United would be willing to provide the Manchester United wonderkid with an exit route.

Aston Villa need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and Mainoo would be a solid long-term acquisition. He has shown his ability in the Premier League, and it could prove to be a mistake for Manchester United to sell him.

There is no doubt that the Englishman is a talented player with a bright future. He has all the attributes to develop into a reliable Premier League midfielder. Aston Villa would do well to secure his signature.

The Villans are looking to build a squad capable of competing in European football regularly, and they need more depth in the side. Someone like Mainoo could develop into a key player in the long run.

Unai Emery is a top-quality manager who has done well to groom young players in the past, and he could play a key role in the development of the Manchester United youngster as well. It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can secure an agreement with Manchester United in the coming weeks.

Newcastle United keen on Mainoo as well

Meanwhile, Newcastle are keeping tabs on his situation as well. The young midfielder needs regular football, and Manchester United will not be able to provide him with that opportunity. Newcastle could be an exciting opportunity for him. Newcastle United will be able to offer him Champions League football and the platform to fight for trophies. They managed to win a domestic trophy last season.

Newcastle United need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 20-year-old would be a long-term investment for them. Both clubs have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line, and Mainoo would be a solid long-term investment for them. He has all the tools to develop into a future star with the right guidance.
