Kobbie Mainoo has emerged as an ambitious target for Leeds United, MOT Leeds News<\/strong> understands.<\/p>\n Leeds United have already strengthened their midfield significantly this summer, but the injury to Ethan Ampadu<\/a> has sparked concern.<\/p>\n The Welshman is expected to be out of action until after the September international break, which afforded Ilia Gruev a chance in Leeds\u2019 5-0 defeat to Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, the Whites are looking to add one more body to their midfield if an opportunity arises, and Mainoo<\/a> could be their man.<\/p>\n A report from talkSPORT<\/a> suggests that Mainoo would be willing to leave Man United this summer, having somewhat fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n The 20-year-old is yet to make an appearance for the Red Devils this season, and MOT Leeds News<\/strong> understands that the Whites are considering an \u201cambitious\u201d move to bring him to Elland Road<\/a> on loan.<\/p>\n Mainoo\u2019s last two seasons at Man United<\/strong><\/p>\n Sources close to Leeds<\/a> have suggested that the Whites had earmarked Mainoo as a soft target upon their promotion from the Championship.<\/p>\n At this stage, it\u2019s unlikely that Man United would sanction a loan move to another Premier League club given his contract situation, but that could change if the player grows unsettled in the final days of the window.<\/p>\n Via Capology<\/a>, Mainoo earns a reported \u00a325,000 per week, though it is believed he wanted \u00a3150,000 per week to sign a new deal at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Who has played for Leeds and Man United in the past?<\/strong><\/p>\n Mainoo would become one of several players to have been contracted to both Leeds and Man United if a deal does materialise this summer, though several names will shock you.<\/p>\n Largie Ramazani looks set to leave Leeds<\/a> this summer, though he was contracted at Old Trafford between 2017 and 2020, before moving on to Almeria.<\/p>\n![\"Daniel](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/leeds-united-manager-daniel-farke-1-1024x576.png\")
