According to reports, Manchester United have been ‘offered’ a swap deal as FC Barcelona make an audacious attempt to sign Kobbie Mainoo.

Mainoo to leave Man Utd?

According to reports in Spain, Barcelona are interested in signing Mainoo and they are considering a swap deal involving former Leeds United winger Raphinha, who has recently been linked with a move to Arsenal.
