Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks, and it appears that Manchester City are keen on him.

Kobbie Mainoo is being looked at by Pep Guardiola as a potential replacement for Bernardo Silva, according to a report from TEAMtalk. The player is valued at £70 million, and he has been linked with Chelsea and Newcastle as well. It will be interesting to see if Manchester City are willing to pay up for him.

The technically gifted midfielder is a huge talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a key player for Manchester City with the right guidance. The Englishman has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, and it would not be a surprise if Manchester United sanction his departure.

However, selling him to a direct rival could prove to be a mistake. There is no doubt that he is a talented player and might be able to unlock his true potential. Manchester United could regret their decision to let him join a rival, and the report has suggested that the interest from Manchester City may not lead to a move.

Meanwhile, the midfielder will be desperate to get his career back on track. The opportunity to join Manchester City will be quite exciting for him. It would be a huge opportunity for him to compete at the highest level. The youngster would get to play alongside world-class players at Manchester City, and he will be able to work with a generational manager like Pep Guardiola. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Chelsea and Newcastle United keen on Mainoo

Chelsea are interested in the player as well. They could certainly use more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and Mainoo would be a solid long-term investment. He will help them control the tempo of the game and add more technical ability in the middle of the park.

As far as Newcastle United are concerned, they are looking to build a team for the future and signing the talented young Manchester United midfielder would be a wise decision. They have an ambitious project, and they will be able to offer him regular game time. It remains to be seen whether the midfielder is tempted to join them.

All three clubs will be attractive opportunities for the midfielder. He needs to choose his next destination carefully. The young midfielder needs to play regularly at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at a big club will not benefit the 20-year-old English international, and he should seek game time assurance before committing to a move.
