Manchester United are looking to agree new contracts with Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo, and Michael Carrick has commented on the situation.
Manager Michael Carrick has confirmed that Manchester United are in talks with Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire and that a deal could be done soon.
Maguire has done quite well for Manchester United in recent weeks, and he is nearing the end of his contract. It makes sense for Manchester United to offer him an extension. He is one of the leaders of the dressing room, and he has been a quality performer for the club. They should look to offer him a short-term extension and keep him at the club.
The defender will want to compete at the highest level as well, and leaving Manchester United will not be part of his plan. It is fair to assume that the two parties are likely to reach an agreement soon.
Meanwhile, Mainoo was heavily linked with a move away from the club under Ruben Amorim. The talented young midfielder struggled for opportunities under the previous manager, but things have changed since the arrival of Carrick. He is an important player for Manchester United, and he is impressing every week.
There is no doubt that he is a tremendous talent, and Manchester United should keep him at the club for as long as possible.

Carrick told Sky Sports: “Contract negotiations with players are always ongoing, so you hope whatever it is gets done in the right way.
“Both have been great, and being back in the England squad is what they deserve. I’m not getting involved on how close things are, but they’ve both done great.”
Manchester United have shown great improvement in recent weeks, and they are looking to finish in the top three. It will be interesting to see if they can keep their best players and improve the team during the summer transfer window. They will be hoping to fight for trophies next season.
Mainoo and Maguire will be important players for them in the upcoming seasons as well. The two players will be delighted to have earned their manager’s trust, and they will look to sort out their long-term futures quickly.
