Manchester United is nearing the completion of a new contract for 19-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who has become a key figure in Erik ten Hag’s midfield. Mainoo’s current contract runs until 2027, with an additional year option, but negotiations for a renewed deal, which began in March, are almost complete. The talented midfielder is expected to receive a pay increase as United look to build their future midfield around him. Mainoo notably scored the winning goal in the 2024 FA Cup final against Manchester City, earning the player of the match title.
