Kobbie Mainoo prefers Real Madrid to Barcelona?

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo would prefer a move to Real Madrid to joining Barcelona in the January transfer window, according to Defensa Central.

Mainoo is ready to leave Man Utd on a loan deal in the middle of the season. The 20-year-old England international midfielder has become frustrated by his lack of chances under manager Ruben Amorim. Mainoo has made 10 substitute appearances for Man Utd so far this season and has not started a single game in the league.

‘Barcelona wants to tempt the Old Trafford team so that Mainoo will join the club of the city of Barcelona,’ according to Defensa Central.

‘However, Florentino and his work team are very calm since they are aware that FC Barcelona is no rival when it comes to competing to sign any player.’
