Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay has reportedly urged Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo to join the Serie A oufit this winter.
Mainoo has been starved of playing time at the Red Devils this season and he is determined to play regularly in the second half of the campaign to keep his dream alive of making England’s World Cup squad next summer.
The United graduate will push for a temporary exit instead of a permanent one and reports claim that Napoli are weighing up an approach for Mainoo.
McTominay shared the dressing room with Mainoo at United for some time before his move to Naples, and he is playing a big role in persuading him.
West Ham United are also long-term admirers of the England international and there are prepared to guarantee a starting role to the 20-year-old.
Mainoo’s final decision could depend on playing time. He may not want to join an elite European club where he could struggle for minutes.
