loan move in January.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The England international has struggled for minutes recently and it could make sense for him to explore a move elsewhere this winter.<\/p>\n<p>There has been a lot of speculation about Mainu going back to the summer, with Sascha Tavolieri of Sky Sports claiming that he remains in contact with Napoli.<\/p>\n<p>This follows a recent report from ESPN that said Maynou could reconsider a move away from Old Trafford in January.<\/p>\n<p>United have been reluctant to let Mainu go so far, so it will be interesting to see if their stance changes in the next transfer window.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coby Mainu warming up for Manchester United (Photo by Gareth Copley\/Getty

XI.<\/p>\n<p>The talented 20-year-old made a big impression when he first joined the team under former manager Erik ten Hag and seems good enough to play more often.<\/p>\n<p>It may certainly look a little ridiculous if this popular homegrown youngster is allowed to leave and he continues to shine elsewhere.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

form.<\/p>\n<p>Scott McTominay has proved a revelation at Napoli, while Rasmus Hj\u00f8lund has also enjoyed a strong start to the season since joining on loan.<\/p>\n<p>This will definitely be an interesting story to watch heading into January, as Mainu looks like a player who can definitely improve once he leaves Manchester.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End
