- Manchester United have agreed a contract extension with their 21-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
- The academy graduate has already made 98 appearances for the club, scoring seven goals, notably a crucial strike in United’s 2024 FA Cup final win against Manchester City.
- Mainoo's Old Trafford future was uncertain under former manager Ruben Amorim, but he has turned his career around following Michael Carrick's appointment as head coach in January.
- Under Carrick, Mainoo was reinstated to the starting line-up, playing a pivotal role in the team's ascent to third in the Premier League, and his new deal is reportedly set to run until 2031.
- His strong performances have also earned him an England recall, and he is now competing for a place in Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad, having previously started in the Euro 2024 final.
