Scott McTominay has reportedly urged Napoli to sign Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo in the summer. He reportedly believes that the Englishman will be a good fit at the Italian club, amidst his struggle for regular playing time at Old Trafford.Mainoo has just accumulated 228 minutes of action in eight appearances across competitions this season for Ruben Amorim's side. His only start came in the EFL Cup Second Round, where they lost on penalties against League Two side Grimsby Town. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup around the corner, the Englishman is looking for regular playing time. A source has now reportedly told Sun Sport that Scott McTominay has urged Napoli to sign Mainoo. The source said:“Scott has been to see Conte and told him to get Kobbie. He’s told him all about his strengths and what an outstanding player he is. He knows all about him from his time at United and thinks he would be a great addition to the squad, whether it’s on loan or a permanent deal.“Kobbie has been brought up the right way at United having been in the academy since he was a little boy. He would fit straight in and give Napoli a boost.”McTominay and Mainoo shared the pitch 28 times for Manchester United before the former's move to Napoli in 2024. He's made a big impact with the Italian giants, helping them win the Serie A title last season. Rasmus Hojlund is also currently on loan at Napoli from United.Ruben Amorim rues inability to kill games off as Manchester United draw against Tottenham HotspurThe Red Devils played out a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.
