“It seems like one particular Man in that one particular man doesn’t want the young star in that club because of one reason and other top clubs like Madrid who sees him as the next Modric are in line to sign him”-Fabrizio Romano explains what he has heard about Kobbie Mainoo’s Manchester United contract as Erik ten Hag and the fans are not happy with it.

Manchester United has initiated discussions regarding a potential new contract for Kobbie Mainoo, as reported by renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano. Mainoo, who clinched the FA Youth Cup in 2022, has seamlessly transitioned into the first team this season, boasting an impressive tally of 13 appearances. However, his trajectory was briefly hampered by an injury that sidelined him for the initial three months of the campaign.

Drawing parallels with Alejandro Garnacho’s contract extension last year, which secured his tenure until 2028, Manchester United is keen on securing Mainoo’s services for the foreseeable future. The proposed contract is anticipated to include a revamped salary package, commensurate with his growing significance within the team.

Fabrizio Romano, in his recent insights shared on his YouTube channel, shed light on Manchester United’s intentions to secure Mainoo’s future at the club. He elucidated, “Preparations for a new contract for Kobbie are underway. While it’s not an immediate necessity, Manchester United aims to finalize the deal in 2024. They envision Mainoo as a cornerstone of their present and future endeavors, acknowledging his pivotal role with a corresponding salary adjustment. The discussions have been positive, reflecting Mainoo’s contentment with his current club.”

Mainoo’s existing contract history reveals his commitment to Manchester United’s cause. Having inked his maiden professional deal at the age of 17 in the summer of 2022, he followed it up with a long-term agreement in February of the subsequent year, extending his tenure until June 2027. Manchester United seeks to further prolong his stay and ensure his remuneration reflects his burgeoning prominence within the squad, thereby preempting any potential allure of lucrative offers from elsewhere.

Noteworthy among Mainoo’s recent exploits is his pivotal contribution to Manchester United’s recent triumphs, highlighted by his two crucial goals for the first team. Notably, his stunning match-winner in injury time secured a dramatic 4-3 victory against Wolves, underscoring his burgeoning influence within the squad.
