Manchester United fans are only just realising who Kobbie Mainoo's brother is amid reports linking him with Chelsea.

Man United will reportedly listen to offers for any of Ruben Amorim's squad, including academy graduate star Mainoo, who burst onto the scene last season.

Fellow academy graduate Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund, who joined the club for £72 million, are also thought to be available if a serious offer is tabled.

Chelsea are said to be in 'pole position' if Mainoo leaves Man United, with Cole Palmer reacting to the transfer news.

Ahead of a potential switch away from Old Trafford, some fans have just found out who his brother is.

The star player's brother is Jordan Mainoo-Hames, who starred on the 2019 series of Love Island before working as a model for Louis Vuitton.

If you watched the show and maybe aren't instantly recognising the name, that is because he simply went by 'Jordan Hames' on the ITV programme.

One X user wrote: "Wow family of stars."

A second said: "Kobbie Mainoo being Jordan Hames' brother was not what I expected to find out today."

A third added: "C'mon don't joke with me mate..."

A fourth commented: "Their parents must have been basketball fans for naming their kids Kobbie and Jordan."

Mainoo, 19, has been at Man United for his entire career.

He graduated from the club's famed youth academy before making his first-team debut in 2023.

Last season, the midfielder enjoyed a breakthrough campaign, making 32 appearances across all competitions, scoring five goals.

He has played 17 games this season.

Mainoo already has a long-term contract with Man United, which doesn't expire until 2027, plus the option of a further 12 months.

But the club are currently in talks to give him an improved deal following his performances in the last 18 months.
