Manchester United are ready to open talks over a new contract for midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, reports claim, with the Red Devils also keen to keep hold of Bruno Fernandes beyond this season.
The pair have faced growing uncertainty over their respective futures at United, but for wildly different reasons. Mainoo grew frustrated at a lack of opportunities under former manager Ruben Amorim, whereas the ever-present Fernandes represents a valuable asset whose departure could fund a squad rebuild which has started with the impending departure of Casemiro.
