Manchester United Edges Closer to Securing Mainoo's Future

According to Michael Carrick, Manchester United is nearing a new deal with Kobbie Mainoo. This development comes after Sky Sports News reported in March that both Mainoo and Harry Maguire were close to agreeing on new terms, with Maguire's contract being announced recently. The proposed five-year deal for Mainoo, which would run until 2031, is expected to include a significant pay rise, reflecting his growth and current status within the team. Carrick expressed optimism about the situation, stating that it is 'getting closer' and the club is in a 'good place' with the midfielder. Mainoo's potential new contract would mark a significant turnaround, given that he was not part of previous head coach Ruben Amorim's plans. Since Carrick took over, Mainoo has featured in every Premier League match and has become a key player, even earning a spot in Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad.
