Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are among several clubs interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who has fallen out of favour.

The United youth product lost his place in Ruben Amorim's squad after returning from injury last December. 

In the 2025–26 season, the England international has yet to feature in the opening two matches against Arsenal and Fulham.

According to the Daily Mail, several Premier League clubs, along with the Madrid-based sides are interested in signing the United sensation on a season-long loan.

Manchester United will take on Grimsby Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup this Wednesday, before hosting Burnley in the Premier League on August 30.
