Mainoo, Zirkzee discontented

Zirkzee's future at Manchester United is becoming uncertain if coach Ruben Amorim continues in charge.

The Times revealed that Zirkzee is extremely frustrated with his current situation, and the Dutchman sees it as “absolutely necessary” to leave the club in the January transfer window if he is to regain his chance of being in the Netherlands squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Zirkzee's lack of playing time at Manchester United has seen him left out of the Netherlands national team's latest squad by Ronald Koeman, prompting him to consider looking for a new destination to restart his career.

Similarly, young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is also unhappy with the current situation at Manchester United. The English player believes that he does not receive the appreciation he deserves from the coaching staff.

Having only made three substitute appearances since the start of the season, with no starts in the Premier League, the young English talent has considered leaving Old Trafford to find regular playing opportunities – a key factor in helping him maintain his hopes of playing at the 2026 World Cup under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel.

Napoli are emerging as the frontrunners to sign Mainoo.

In Manchester United's 2-0 win over Sunderland in round 7 of the Premier League last weekend, Mainoo continued to sit on the bench and only entered the field in the second half. Currently, Napoli is the top potential destination for Mainoo.

The Serie A champions have been in active contact with the player's representatives during the summer transfer window, as they look to sign a young midfielder with the ability to control and explode.

The presence of two former Manchester United stars, Scott McTominay – who is currently enjoying a successful season with the Serie A MVP title – and Rasmus Hojlund, has made Mainoo even more interested in the prospect of arriving in Naples.

Manchester United blocked plans to loan Mainoo out this summer, but the current situation may force them to reconsider. In addition to Napoli, many European giants such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are also closely monitoring developments surrounding the young English midfielder's future.
