Kobbie Mainoo set to extend Manchester United stay post Euro 2024
5th June 2024
Manchester United is poised to retain the services of Kobbie Mainoo following the conclusion of the Euro 2024 tournament, as per recent reports.
The dynamic and talented attacker proved to be a revelation for the Red Devils during the recently concluded season, making 25 appearances and finding the back of the net three times.
According to insights from the Daily Star, Mainoo is on the brink of signing a new contract that would see his current wages quadruple to approximately £80,000 per week.
While all parties involved have reportedly agreed "in principle" to the terms of the deal, Mainoo has requested a delay in the official announcement until after the upcoming UEFA EURO 2024 championship.
This decision stems from his desire to maintain focus on his national team commitments without the potential distractions of ongoing contract negotiations.
Mainoo, whose lineage traces back to Ghanaian roots, played a pivotal role in Manchester United's historic FA Cup triumph over city rivals Manchester City last month.
His standout performance in that match earned him the prestigious Man of the Match award, solidifying his reputation as a formidable force on the pitch.
As a testament to his prowess, Mainoo has also earned inclusion in England's provisional squad for the Euros, further underlining his rising stature in the footballing world.
