"Man Utd has always been my home" - Kobbie Mainoo pens long-term contract extension
Kobbie Mainoo has committed his long-term future to Manchester United by penning a contract extension until 2031. The academy graduate rose to prominence under Erik ten Hag, scoring the winning goal against Manchester City in the FA Cup final but Rúben Amorim barely used him during his disastrous tenure. There was even speculation that Mainoo could be sold but he remained patient and he’s blossomed since Michael Carrick’s arrival to showcase his unquestionable quality.
Speaking after signing his deal, Mainoo said: “Manchester United has always been my home; this special club means everything to my family. I have grown up seeing the impact that our club has on our city, and I relish the responsibility that comes with wearing this shirt. From The Cliff, to Littleton Road, to Carrington and ultimately Old Trafford, the journey so far has been incredible. I have the privilege of living my dream every single day, with the same relentless desire to succeed here as when I joined my first training session at the age of six.”
Mainoo has made 98 appearances for his boyhood club and the England international will play a pivotal role as United aim to return to former glories. The 21-year-old has excelled alongside Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro in the midfield trio under Carrick but United are actively pursuing two new signings in that position this summer. Casemiro's departure will create a sizeable void with Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali, Carlos Baleba and Aurélien Tchouaméni amongst their main targets.
