Manchester United are planning to extend Kobbie Mainoo's contract due to his impressive contributions to the first team, but the official offer won't be on the table until the end of the season.
The 18-year-old has made a significant impact, starting eight Premier League matches since his debut in late November against Everton. Despite the hefty investments in the squad, it's Mainoo, a product of the youth team, who's grabbing attention, especially after the thrilling 4-3 victory against Wolves on Thursday night.
Having inked his first professional deal in 2022 and a subsequent contract in February 2023, lasting until June 2027 with an option for another year, there's no immediate rush for a new deal. However, reports from the Daily Mail suggest that Manchester United plans to offer fresh terms to Mainoo in the upcoming summer.
The adjustment in his wages will reflect his role as a regular starter in the first team, marking a shift from a young player occasionally seen in cup competitions.
