Mainoo Could Be the Surprise Sale in Man United’s Summer Transfer Strategy
Manchester United could be set for a major midfield shake-up this summer, with UK Betting Sites now pricing any Italian club as 2/1 favourites to sign Kobbie Mainoo before the September 3rd deadline.
Reports suggest the club may be forced to sell to buy, particularly with Bruno Fernandes confirming he will stay, and Jadon Sancho returning from loan at Chelsea.
With both midfield and wide areas now crowded, United may view Mainoo as one of the most valuable saleable assets in a congested squad.
BetVictor's latest betting odds give an implied probability of 33.3% that Mainoo moves to Italy in the summer window.
| Kobbie Mainoo Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Any Italian Club | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Chelsea | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Aston Villa | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Any German Club | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Nottingham Forest | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Neville Voices Concern Over Potential Mainoo Exit
Former United captain Gary Neville added fuel to the fire with comments on his podcast, questioning why the club would let go of one of its brightest youth prospects:
“If we can't give Kobbie Mainoo a job in that two in midfield, a top club will want him. Why can't we make him a top player, if he's one of ours and is showing talent?”
Still just 20, his performances have attracted attention from across Europe, particularly in Serie A, where clubs like Juventus and AC Milan are believed to be tracking his development.

Chelsea & Villa Among Domestic Suitors
Closer to home, Chelsea (4/1) are no strangers to raiding rivals for emerging English talent, while Aston Villa (5/1) have continued their trajectory under Unai Emery and could offer Mainoo European football next season.
There’s a chance on a potential switch to the Bundesliga (6/1), with German clubs known for nurturing young English midfielders.
Nottingham Forest (8/1) round out the market, likely based on their historic links and need for midfield depth.
