Ruben Amorim confirms Kobbie Mainoo transfer stance amid Chelsea 'interest' - The young midfielder is reportedly up for sale this month

Ruben Amorim does not want to sell Kobbie Mainoo – but admitted it will be hard for Manchester United to keep all their homegrown players. United are keen to tie down the talented central midfielder to a new deal but the grim reality of their financial situation has presented challenges.

Manchester United will reportedly demand £100million if they decide to sell Kobbie Mainoo to Chelsea this month. The 19-year-old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, despite flourishing throughout the early stages of his Red Devils career.

Man Utd have no reason to panic over claims that Kobbie Mainoo could join Chelsea despite a cheeky attempt from Cole Palmer to grease the transfer wheels.

Man Utd opened talks over a new contract with Kobbie Mainoo last year but talks have stalled between both parties.

Ruben Amorim has made it clear that he wants Kobbie Mainoo to stay at Manchester United amid reports linking him with a move to Chelsea.
