Chelsea are interested in Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, with the Blues having made a decision regarding the future of Andrey Santos, who is on loan at Strasbourg.

Kobbie Mainoo is still only paid £20,000 per week by Manchester United and has been unable to agree terms over a new contract, sparking interest from Chelsea in the January transfer window

Both have a future at club despite suggestions that United may need to cash in on academy players to comply with financial rules

Kobbie Mainoo is in contract talks with Manchester United, with the midfielder's current deal due to expire in 2027, but the Red Devils are confident of reaching an agreement

United’s eagerness to comply with Premier League spending regulations means the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund, who are all deemed to be homegrown, could be available for the right price.
