Kobbie Mainoo Signs New Manchester United Contract Through 2031

The deal signals United’s plan to build around the 21-year-old midfielder.

Overview

  • Manchester United confirmed Thursday that the England international has signed a five-year contract running to 2031.
  • The agreement includes a major pay rise, with multiple outlets reporting weekly wages in the region of £120,000 to £150,000, though the club did not disclose figures.
  • The extension ends months of uncertainty after he was sidelined under Ruben Amorim and weighed a loan move to Napoli earlier in the season.
  • Since Michael Carrick took charge in January, Mainoo has started 12 of 13 league games and helped lift United to third place and within reach of Champions League qualification.
  • Mainoo has returned to the England squad ahead of the summer World Cup, and reporting points to United seeking a holding midfielder to pair with him as Casemiro is expected to leave.
