There were reportedly as many as five clubs interested in signing Manchester United central midfielder Kobbie Mainoo late on this summer.
The transfer window closed earlier this week and Mainoo ended up staying at Man Utd, even though he’s not had as much of a key role since Ruben Amorim became manager.
The 20-year-old is clearly a top talent, and he supposedly had the likes of Tottenham, Aston Villa, Everton, Napoli and Roma as suitors to choose from, according to the Daily Mail.
United fans will surely be relieved that Mainoo ended up staying, as he could still have a big future at Old Trafford.
The England international now needs to remain professional and make the most of any first-team opportunities that come his way.

Can Kobbie Mainoo revive his Manchester United career?
Mainoo first broke into the United first-team under previous manager Erik ten Hag, and it didn’t take long for him to look like the real deal.
His dip in form under Amorim is surely only a minor blip, but it will certainly be interesting to see how much playing time he gets between now and January.
