Premier League: Man United to Initiate Contract Extension Talks with Kobbie Mainoo This Summer.

Man United is gearing up to offer Kobbie Mainoo an enticing new contract, with part-owners Ineos showing strong interest in retaining the young talent.

The 18-year-old prodigy has become a pivotal player under Erik ten Hag’s leadership this season. Manchester United aims to elevate Mainoo's status by granting him a salary boost, positioning him as a cornerstone in the upcoming project spearheaded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports ongoing discussions to extend Mainoo’s contract by summer, potentially including a significant salary hike and added incentives.

Currently earning £20,000 per week, Mainoo could see his earnings triple upon sealing the new deal at Old Trafford. A product of the club's youth system since age nine, Mainoo is poised to carry on United's rich tradition of nurturing young talent.

With 27 appearances already this season across all competitions, he's notched three goals and provided two assists.

His recent maiden call-up to the England squad during the international break showcased his abilities against formidable opponents like Brazil and Belgium. Under Ineos's ownership, the club's dedication to youth development remains steadfast.

Mainoo is just one of several promising young talents rising through United's ranks. Among them, Alejandro Garnacho has cemented his place as a regular in the first team, while young defender Willy Kambwala made his debut against Bournemouth last Saturday.
