The 18-year-old midfielder is presently negotiating a contract set to extend until 2027. Consequently, there’s no urgency for the Red Devils to finalize new terms. Nevertheless, the Premier League side is keen to acknowledge his rise as a key player in the first team.
Mainoo, who progressed from the academy, has featured in 19 matches for United this season, securing his first two senior goals. He has seamlessly integrated into the midfield setup at Old Trafford. Discussions have arisen regarding a potential call-up to the England squad for Euro 2024.
Additionally, there’s speculation about extending his contract until 2030, with an improved salary. However, Fabrizio Romano has clarified why there’s no rush from either party to conclude these talks. He mentioned, “Manchester United have already opened talks with Kobbie Mainoo’s camp over new deal since the beginning of February, as revealed. Discussions are taking place about salary rise, no rush as Mainoo is happy at United and club want to have Kobbie as one of new project faces.”
Given Mainoo’s satisfaction with the current situation and no immediate threat of him seeking opportunities elsewhere, United can afford to exercise patience and adopt a long-term perspective. They aim to capitalize on the immense potential of one of their brightest prospects.
