The British newspaper 'Mirror' reported that Aston Villa and Newcastle United have emerged as suitable options to sign young Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo during the upcoming winter transfer window in January.

The report clarified that both clubs are considered ideal destinations for the promising English player, especially since their geographical locations are close to Manchester, making a loan transfer a realistic option without requiring a drastic change in the player's or his family's life.

Mainoo (19 years old) is regarded as one of the most prominent rising talents in England, having drawn attention with his impressive performance last season. However, the intense competition in Manchester United's midfield may prompt the club to consider loaning the player to gain more experience and regular playing time.

The situation is expected to become clearer in the coming weeks as the opening of the winter transfer window approaches, noting that the player is also attracting interest from Real Madrid.
