Manchester United
Premier
Makes first Premier League start
Mainoo is in the starting XI for the first time this season in the Premier League for the derby against Manchester United under new coach Michael Carrick.
ANALYSIS
Mainoo has been mainly a bench option this season for Manchester United but is in the starting squad for the second time in a row after starting against Brighton in the FA Cup. The midfielder is set to start in the Premier League for the first time this season in one of the most important game of the campaign against Manchester City in the derby, as he looks to be finding his way back into a more consistent role for the red devils after losing his place under coach Ruben Amorim.

Suffers calf injury
Mainoo suffered a calf injury in training and is set to miss some time, coach Ruben Amorim said to the media. "He got an injury in the last training. After training, he went to the doctor. He got something in his calf. We are going to assess but he is out of this game. Of course [it is bad timing], not just for the team but for him to have this problem. These are reminders that we need to focus on everything we can control and leave the rest to the destiny. He is going to be fine in the few weeks, I think, I don't know. Let's focus on the players that we have and are ready to play."

Top target for Chelsea?
Chelsea are looking to bolster their midfield depth in January, and Mainoo is one of the top options they're targeting, according to The Telegraph.
ANALYSIS
Chelsea need to sign at least one midfielder to operate as a reliable backup behind Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. Mainoo would be an excellent addition, and a huge upgrade over players such as Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo, but it's unclear if Manchester United would be open to let him leave to Chelsea.
