Enough is enough,” concluded the retired midfielder.Where could Mainoo go in JanuaryMainoo, who has been struggling for form and playing time since Amorim’s arrival in November 2024, had anticipated the situation by requesting a loan move in August. However, his request has been denied.The Man Utd benchwarmer currently has several offers between the Premier League and abroad. Napoli are particularly keen on reuniting Mainoo with Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund.
