In the encounter with Wolves, MU’s “rising star” scored the winning goal to seal a thrilling 4-3 victory for MU in the 90+7 minute . Witnessing Mainoo’s excellent performance, MU’s board of directors quickly negotiated a contract extension. British media revealed that in the contract with Mainoo, MU provided a salary increase in stages for players coming out of the club’s academy. Mainoo has surpassed the milestone of 10 appearances for the first team and is currently earning £20,000/week. In the next signing, it is likely that this 18-year-old star will receive no less than £50,000/week.

Mainoo’s salary increase is not only to reward the young player’s impressive performances but also a strategy of MU to retain this talented player, avoiding competition from other clubs.

Mainoo has now made 13 appearances in all competitions for Erik ten Hag’s United this season, including eight in the Premier League. In addition to his salary increase, Kobbie Mainoo will also receive significant bonuses every time he is selected by Erik ten Hag to start, play on the pitch or help United win.
