As Kobbie Mainoo continues to shine for both Manchester United and the England national team, the young midfielder is looking to secure a new contract that matches his growing influence. Reports suggest Mainoo is pushing for a wage increase to £180,000 per week, plus bonuses, a figure he believes fairly represents his status as an England regular and brings him closer to the earnings of his teammates.

Having established himself as a key figure under Erik ten Hag, Mainoo’s performances have not gone unnoticed, and negotiations are expected to reflect his rapid rise in both club and international football.
