Manchester United is working towards finalizing a contract extension for midfielder Kobbie Mainoo before the close of 2024.
The 19-year-old has quickly risen to become a vital element in a struggling United squad, evolving from an academy standout to a key first-team player over the last year.
Mainoo significantly contributed to England’s performance in the UEFA Euro 2024 final this summer and has secured a stable starting position under coach Erik ten Hag.
Even with uncertainties regarding Ten Hag’s tenure at the club, Manchester United is eager to secure Mainoo for a longer term.
Kobbie Mainoo’s Manchester United Contract and Transfer Worth
Fans shouldn’t be overly worried about Mainoo potentially leaving, as his transfer valuation stands at approximately £50 million ($65 million).
After breaking into Ten Hag’s plans, Mainoo signed an extended contract in January 2023, which ties him to United until mid-2027.
This contract has an option for an extension to 2028, but United aims to formalize this and possibly negotiate a new deal lasting until 2030.
Manchester United have been in talks with Kobbie Mainoo’s camp for months… as new deal remains one of the top priorities.
