“Man Utd is attempting to prolong Mainoo’s contract”

Following preliminary talks in February, Manchester United is attempting to extend Kobbie Mainoo’s contract by this summer, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

According to the transfer reporter, INEOS wants 18-year-old Mainoo to be one of the faces of the new initiative. INEOS took over football operations when Sir Jim Ratcliffe became a minority owner in February.

There are rumors that the midfield player would receive various add-ons and a pay raise in a new contract.

With a series of impressive performances, Mainoo—whose contract with Manchester United expires in 2027—was awarded his first England cap last month.
