He is a young promise from Manchester United, Guardiola wants him on his team

Manchester City continues to plan to shape its team for the future. Now, multiple reports suggest that the team would be extremely interested in incorporating one of the talents from Manchester United's youth academy into its ranks. This is a footballer who surprised many in the preseason, but now he is beginning to show great signs for his team and they expect him to have important minutes.

It has been a long time since the two Manchester teams have made transfers between each other, and the last movement between both clubs occurred in 2011 with the arrival of Owen Hargreaves as a free agent. In fact, the operations that both Manchester clubs have made between each other are so few. The big difference from the last decade, with United being one of the most dominant teams on the planet, is behind the operation.

Now things have changed, and City is the giant of England. Pep Guardiola's men have conquered the local competition, winning 5 of the last 6 Premier League games played. A success that they have managed to transfer to Europe by winning the only Champions League in their history. City has set itself the goal of signing Kobbie Maino, one of the stars of the “red devil” academy. Anthony Elanga, current Nottingham Forest player, has praised his former teammate: «Kobbie Maino is the next big star of the academy.

Can Maino become a Pep Guardiola player?

However, the Old Trafford offices are not concerned with the matter since the youth player has a contract until 2027 and the red entity has control over the future of his star. After making his debut last season in the Carabao Cup, Maino is a player who can have minutes in the first team, especially now after Casemiro's injury. The player has undeniable talent and time will tell if he will become the star that everyone expects.
