Manchester United’s midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo is pushing for a loan move in January after not getting enough game time under Ruben Amorim. According to Daily Mail, no fewer than 12 clubs are ready to make a loan offer for the Englishman in January.

For Joshua Zirkzee, the previous report about him being linked with AS Roma for a loan move with an option to buy at the end of the season has been rejected by Manchester United. Per Corriere Dello Sport, Man United rejected the deal because they think the option to buy is not enough. United will consider an immediate sale or an obligation to buy in a loan offer.

For the incoming signing, reports from Football Insider saying that Man United could potentially spend big for Elliot Anderson, the midfielder of Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth’s winger Antoine Semenyo. To sign both players, United will have to spend around £170 million. Of course they will need to sell players to accommodate these signings.
