Man United is preparing to present Kobbie Mainoo with an attractive new contract as part-owners Ineos are eager to retain the young talent. The 18-year-old prodigy has emerged as a crucial player in Erik ten Hag’s team this campaign.
Manchester United is looking to give Kobbie Mainoo a raise in salary as they position him as a key figure in the upcoming project led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, discussions are underway to extend Mainoo’s contract by the summer, with the potential for significant salary increase and additional incentives. Mainoo, who currently earns £20,000 per week, could see his earnings triple upon signing the new deal at Old Trafford.
Mainoo, who has been with the club since the age of nine, is poised to carry on the club’s enduring tradition of nurturing young talent. He has already made 27 appearances for United this season across all competitions, netting three goals and providing two assists.
Notably, he also received his maiden England call-up during the recent international break and showcased his skills against formidable opponents like Brazil and Belgium. With Ineos at the helm, the club’s commitment to fostering youth development appears unwavering.
Mainoo is among the gifted young individuals emerging within the United’s ranks. Additional promising talents consist of Alejandro Garnacho, who has secured a spot as a regular in the first team, and the young defender Willy Kambwala, who made his start against Bournemouth last Saturday.
