There is no roster spot for Maine under Ruben Amorim and his schemes. Cobbie has made just seven appearances this season and just one start in the infamous League Cup tie against Grimsby Town.
The club blocked all loan attempts in the summer, insisting Meinou will play a prominent role. However, now without practice, the player himself is looking to leave the team on loan to get the minutes he needs to salvage his chances of making England’s 2026 World Cup bid.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, West Ham have already made a specific request and are offering Mayne something he doesn’t have in Manchester – guaranteed playing time. Coach Nuno Espiritu Santo sees him as a dynamic midfielder capable of controlling the pace and advancing the ball.
However, West Ham will have to withstand serious competition. The Italian Napoli under the leadership of Antonio Conte is also actively interested in the player.
The Serie A champions are reportedly already in talks over a loan deal with an option to buy. For Manchester United, the option with a foreign club is better, because they do not want to strengthen the competitor in the Premier League.
This makes negotiations difficult for West Ham and makes Napoli favorites in the race for the Englishman.
