Manchester United remain in discussions over a new contract for midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, but an agreement has yet to be finalised.
Uncertain Future at Old Trafford
The club is keen to secure Mainoo’s long-term future as part of their plans to retain key players ahead of a crucial summer transfer window.
However, negotiations over a contract extension are ongoing, with no definitive decision made.
According to Guardian Sport, Mainoo’s representatives are pushing for a salary that reflects his growing importance within the squad.
Despite the prolonged discussions, Manchester United have not yet reached a breakthrough. While Chelsea have shown interest in the 18-year-old, a move to another Premier League side appears unlikely at this stage.
However, the possibility of Mainoo seeking opportunities abroad has not been ruled out.
United’s Balancing Act
United’s hierarchy must navigate a delicate balancing act—strengthening the squad while securing the futures of key young talents.
Mainoo, who has emerged as an integral part of Erik ten Hag’s setup, has impressed with his composure and versatility in midfield.
While the club values his contributions, the financial aspects of the deal remain a sticking point. With United expected to be active in the transfer market, finalising Mainoo’s extension will be a key priority in the coming weeks.
