MU transfers: Besides bringing in new players, Man Utd is also extending contracts with key players, including midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is making a strong comeback after injury and has quickly taken a starting position in coach Ten Hag’s squad. It is known that Mainoo’s contract with the Old Trafford team is valid until June 2027, with an option to extend for another year. The English midfielder is also being watched by many teams and is ready to negotiate with Man Utd for this deal. However, it is difficult for the Red Devils to accept the release of the player when they consider Mainoo to be the future of the team.
MU is said to be negotiating with Mainoo’s representatives to continue to extend the contract with new benefits. Mainoo’s current salary is around 20,000 pounds / week. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is ready to increase the salary of the 19-year-old talent, the agreement is expected to be approved soon. At that time, Mainoo’s new salary will increase many times compared to the current one, helping him enter the ranks of stars in terms of income in the MU squad.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on Twitter: “Manchester United have inserted a clause into Kobbie Mainoo’s current contract to extend it until June 2028, a clause that is valid from the club’s side. Manchester United believe Mainoo will be an exceptional talent for the present and future – a pay rise and a new contract could also be a topic (for discussion) in 2024.”
Not only receiving a huge salary, Mainoo also benefits from the departure of midfielder Scott McTominay, when Man Utd will have a new direction for the team. If Ugarte arrives at Old Trafford, the Uruguayan midfielder promises to be a long-term partner in the midfield with the 19-year-old star, especially in the context that Casemiro has shown signs of age and is slow in the disputes.
