Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly closing in on signing a bumper new deal with the Premier League club.
According to a report by Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are set to agree on a new deal with 19-year-old breakthrough midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. The teenage sensation has established himself as a key player for the club.
So, it is no surprise that they have been keen on tying him down to a new deal. The Englishman is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in the Premier League, and keeping him at the club for the long term is a wise decision.
It will be interesting to see if the two parties can iron out the final details and put pen to paper on a new contract soon. Mainoo is still only 19, and he will only get better with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top-class player for club and country with the right guidance.
Manchester United need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and it remains to be seen whether they can build a solid midfield around Mainoo. If they can surround him with a quality defensive midfielder and a creative playmaker, they could have a reliable midfield to build on.
The 19-year-old has certainly shown that he is good enough to start in the Premier League regularly, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can surround him with players of equal calibre now.
Mainoo will look to focus on his football now
The Manchester United midfielder will be delighted to extend his stay at the club as well. With his long-term future about to be sorted, the midfielder will now look to focus on his football and help Manchester United get back to the top of English football once again.
Despite spending substantial amounts of money on new signings over the years, Manchester United have not been able to challenge for major trophies regularly. Mainoo is an exceptional player with huge potential, and the fans will certainly expect him to help the club perform at a high level in the near future.
Manchester United are looking to build a side for the future, and the 19-year-old is certainly going to be one of the pillars of the first team. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can nurture him properly and help him develop into the player he could be.
