Newcastle United are keeping an eye on Manchester United midfielder Cobby Mineu, according to Talksport.
The English international midfielder is struggling to get playing time this season under manager Reuben Amorim.
As he only played 73 minutes of Premier League action this season, questions have been raised about his future at Old Trafford.
The young midfielder belongs to the manager and club’s future plans, but he has a hard time convincing Amorim to give him a place in the starting lineup.
Man United is in miserable form
United struggled this season after scoring just four points from the first four games of the season. Not only are their leagues in misery, they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the early stages by the town of Grimsby.
Amorim expressed his desire to not change his philosophy and his team.
The Portuguese manager revealed that Mainoo is competing with Bruno Fernandez at the starting lineup location. And we are looking at how consistent, influential and important Fernandez is for the Red Devils.
Newcastle United are eager to sign Mainoo
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe praises Mineu and if he continues to struggle for his play at Old Trafford, he will move for the midfielder.
Mine wanted the Red Devils to be a loan move this summer as they wanted the youngsters to get more playing time as they wanted to make the best case for next year’s FIFA World Cup, but United refused his request to escape.
The 20-year-old has several admirers in Europe, with top clubs like Naples and Real Madrid recently linked to the midfielder movement.
Given how Mineau performed after coming to the Manchester Derby on Sunday, it’s amazing to see him get fewer opportunities this season.
