Overview
- The club announced the five-year contract on Thursday, locking in the academy graduate until the summer of 2031.
- Since Michael Carrick took charge in January, Mainoo has started 12 of 13 matches and reestablished himself as a first-choice midfielder.
- Carrick said Mainoo “epitomises” United’s pathway from academy to first team and set winning trophies as the player’s target.
- Mainoo credited Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes for raising his level, and reporting indicates United expect Casemiro to leave and will recruit a new midfield partner.
- Some outlets report wages of about £120,000 per week on the new deal, though the club did not disclose financial terms.
