Man United keen on rewarding Kobbie Mainoo with a new improved contract. Manchester United are ready to advance new contract talks with teenage midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, a new report has revealed.
The 19-year-old was rewarded with a new four-year contract in early 2023, shortly after his first-team debut, and has since gone on to establish himself as a key member of United’s midfield.
Mainoo who was also a key figure for England at Euro 2024, having come on into Gareth Southgate‘s starting lineup as the Three Lions made their way to a second consecutive final at the tournament.
As noted by popular football journalist and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, United are well aware that Mainoo has gone on to outperform the terms of his current agreement, and are prepared to reward him with a pay rise to reflect his increased importance to the team.
Though, a formal offer isn’t thought to have been made yet, but United officials are drawing up a new proposal and intend to sit down with Mainoo’s representatives in the near future.
United’s desire to tie Mainoo down to a new contract is said to be a mutual feeling, with the young midfielder also delighted with life at Old Trafford.
Those in charge at United have made it clear they want to keep Mainoo, who came through their academy ranks, as one of the faces of their new project.
Winger Amad Diallo is also another who could be in line for a new contract after establishing himself under Erik ten Hag, while Alejandro Garnacho another young player to have emerged as a first-team regular, signed a new five-year deal back in April 2023.
