Manchester United ready to advance contract talks with Kobbie Mainoo

Manchester United are reportedly ready to advance their talks with 19-year-old breakout star Kobbie Mainoo regarding a new contract.

According to a report by Fabrizio Romano on Caught Offside, Kobbie Mainoo will soon receive a new contract from Manchester United. The Red Devils want to secure the long-term future of the 19-year-old breakout star while rewarding him with improved wages. So, they are ready to advance talks with his entourage over a new deal.

The rise and rise of Kobbie Mainoo

Kobbie Mainoo has become a mainstay in the middle of the park since breaking into the first-team squad at Manchester United. A native of Stockport, the Englishman spent the first few years of his youth career at Cheadle & Gatley and Failsworth Dynamos before joining Manchester United as a nine-year-old a decade ago.

The 19-year-old rapidly progressed through the ranks at Manchester United before making his first-team bow for the Premier League heavyweights in January 2023. However, 2023/24 was his breakthrough season, with Erik ten Hag installing him as a mainstay in the middle of the park for Manchester United.

The England international has already turned out nearly 50 times thus far for Manchester United while chipping in with five goals and one assist. He has scored some crucial strikes for the Red Devils, including one in the FA Cup final as they beat their local rivals Manchester City to the top cup trophy in England.

Set for a new deal?

Kobbie Mainoo has also established a foothold in his national team, becoming the first-choice midfielder for England alongside Declan Rice. So, it is hardly surprising that Manchester United want to secure the Englishman’s long-term future while rewarding him with improved wages.

While the 19-year-old midfield sensation still has nearly two years left on his current contract, Manchester United want to tie him to a new deal and hand him a pay hike. So, the Red Devils have been preparing new terms for Mainoo, and they will soon advance talks with his entourage to wrap up the negotiations.

Recent reports have claimed that the Premier League heavyweights have made progress in securing Kobbie Mainoo’s long-term future. So, an agreement between the two parties should be a formality.
