Manchester United close to finalising new Mainoo contract
Manchester United close to finalising new Mainoo contract Manchester United are closing in on new deal for Kobbie Mainoo after productive talks with the midfielder’s representatives. Mainoo has been a key figure in the club’s resurgence under Michael Carrick, having returned to regular action after struggling to convince former manager Ruben Amorim. The 20-year-old’s performances have seen him recalled to the England squad this month for March’s fixtures against Uruguay and Japan.
It’s the midfielder’s first call-up in over 18 months having last represented the Three Lions in September 2024. United opened talks with Mainoo over a new deal in January, following the exit of Amorim. Fabrizio Romano has reported that an agreement is close on a contract that will run until 2031.
Though the deal is not done, there is optimism from Manchester United that terms will be finalised. Mainoo’s deal will mark a significant turn around for the player who had been expected to leave in the January window, prior to Amorim’s dismissal.
