Reportedly, Manchester United will offer teenager Kobbie Mainoo a better deal in the summer.Mainoo began his journey through the Man United development system in 2008, when he was just nine years old, and he didn’t make his senior debut until January 2023.
Despite just getting three outings last season, the 18-year-old has been making waves in the first team setup as of late.
Mainoo netted his first senior goal in last Sunday’s 4-2 FA Cup fourth round win over Newport County. He has appeared in ten competitive matches this season.
After that, Thursday’s 4-3 triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux was largely due to the teenager’s contributions.
When Erik ten Hag’s team trailed 3-1 against Gary O’Neil’s, they felt they had lost two points. However, Mainoo added a fourth twist by scoring his maiden Premier League goal with a pinpoint curling finish into the bottom corner.
Man United are anticipated to reward Mainoo, who is currently having a breakout season, for his great achievements.
The Red Devils are reportedly planning to offer Mainoo a new and improved deal when the current season comes to a close, according to the Daily Mail.
May 2022 was when Mainoo inked his first professional deal, and February 2023 was when he inked a new one.Consequently, Mainoo is under contract with the club until the summer of 2027, and Man United has the option to extend it for another year.
The 20-time English champions, on the other hand, appear ready to offer him a new deal that better suits his present position on the team.
Mainoo will likely start Sunday’s Premier League home encounter against West Ham United, continuing an impressive streak of eight consecutive starts.
At the start of the weekend, Manchester United are in seventh place in the Premier League, one point behind sixth-placed West Ham.
