Man United boss Michael Carrick ‘over the moon’ as Kobbie Mainoo signs new deal

  • Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has signed a new five-year contract with Manchester United, committing him to the club until 2031.
  • Michael Carrick expressed his delight, stating he is “over the moon” and believes Mainoo “epitomises” the club's tradition of bringing through talented young players.
  • Mainoo's career at United was revitalised by Carrick's return in January, having not started a league game before then but subsequently becoming a key player.
  • Carrick hopes Mainoo will continue to push and improve, contributing to a successful team that wins trophies at Old Trafford for a long time.
  • Ahead of Sunday’s match against Liverpool, Carrick is optimistic about Matheus Cunha's return, but Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez are unavailable due to injury and suspension, respectively.
