Manchester United initiates negotiations to secure midfielder Kobbie Mainoo's future with an improved contract following his standout performance in the Manchester derby.
Manchester United have begun preliminary discussions to extend Kobbie Mainoo's contract, as reported exclusively by Sky Sports News. The 20-year-old academy graduate currently earns one of the lowest salaries in United's first-team squad, but his pivotal role in the club's future plans warrants a significant pay rise.
The young midfielder regained his starting position under interim manager Michael Carrick, delivering a standout performance in United's 2-0 victory against Manchester City. This resurgence comes after limited opportunities under former coach Ruben Amorim, who excluded Mainoo from Premier League starting lineups earlier this season.
"United view Mainoo as integral to their long-term midfield plans, especially with Casemiro's impending departure," revealed Sky Sports correspondent Rob Dorsett.
Club officials have reportedly made initial contact with Mainoo's representatives, with formal negotiations expected to progress in coming weeks. The contract renewal signals United's commitment to nurturing homegrown talent while reshaping their midfield following veteran departures.
