Kobbie Mainoo closer to agreeing new Man Utd deal says Michael Carrick

Head coach Michael Carrick confirmed Manchester United is nearing a new five-year contract extension for England international Kobbie Mainoo. The midfielder has flourished under Carrick's guidance, re-establishing himself as a cornerstone player for the Red Devils.
After an uncertain time under previous boss Ruben Amorim, Mainoo failed to start a Premier League match last season and suffered a calf injury. Since Carrick took charge, the academy graduate has revitalized his form and become essential to the squad.
Mainoo's current contract runs until 2027 with a 12-month option, but the club prioritizes a five-year extension. After Harry Maguire recently signed an extension, Carrick said the discussions are "getting closer" and remain on positive trajectory.
Hosting rivals Leeds United on Monday, Manchester United aims to reach 58 points and bolster their third-place standing. Victory would significantly improve their chances of securing Champions League qualification, which Carrick emphasized is vital for retaining talent.
The Champions League remains a significant financial and prestige objective for the club. Carrick acknowledged that while the squad has improved from finishing 15th last season, the team must continue building to consistently challenge at the top.
