Manchester United had a disappointing season but ended on a high note with a spectacular FA Cup final victory over rivals Manchester City. The teamâs 13th title win was highlighted by young talent, with Kobbie Mainoo scoring the second goal and shining in his first major final. Fans were thrilled to see the academy graduate become a regular in the first team after brief appearances during Erik ten Hagâs debut season. Unfortunately, a pre-season injury sidelined the 19-year-old for four months.
Mainoo made a strong comeback, starting against Everton and making 32 appearances across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing one assist. His breakthrough season demonstrated maturity beyond his years, and his knack for scoring crucial goals earned him an international debut against Brazil. He is expected to be a key player for England in Euro 2024. Mainooâs performances have already secured him a doubled wage after a clause was triggered, recognizing him as a first-team regular.
INEOS is keen to retain Mainoo and has approved a contract extension. However, the player is currently focused on his international duties and plans to sign the new deal after returning from Germany. Barcelona has shown interest in Mainoo, with journalist Sacha Tavolieri reporting that Manchester United is aware of Barçaâs interest and is in discussions with the playerâs representatives about a contract extension with a significant pay raise.
Despite rumors of a potential swap deal involving Raphinha, such a move is unlikely. Barcelonaâs financial struggles mean they are not in a position to make a substantial offer for Mainoo. As his performances continue to improve, more clubs are likely to show interest, making it crucial for Manchester United to secure his contract soon.Manchester United’s season concluded on a positive note with a remarkable FA Cup final win over Manchester City, marking their 13th title.
