Kobbie Mainoo’s new income at Old Trafford is likely to reach £20,000/week. This will be a worthy reward for teenage talent.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said Man Utd is preparing to send Mainoo a new contract. The negotiation process between the two sides is reaching the final steps, whereby the “Red Devils” want to turn the 18-year-old talent into an important part of the club.
Mainoo currently receives a salary of 10,000 pounds/week. With the new contract, the teenage midfielder’s income will double, while raising his status to a new level, according to Goal. At that time, Mainoo will confirm his position as one of the official members of the first team.
Mainoo is playing well recently. In 13 matches played in all competitions in the 2023/24 season, the 18-year-old talent scored 2 goals. In particular, Mainoo’s goal against Wolves in round 22 of the Premier League on February 2 helped Man Utd win 4-3. That was also the match where Mainoo conquered fans as well as former football players.
Currently, experts say that Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho are Man Utd’s promising trio. The future of the team may lie on the shoulders of these players.
According to TalkSport, Mainoo’s impressive performance also helped the player score points with England coach Gareth Southgate. British media said the possibility of the Man Utd midfielder being called up to the national team during the training camp in March is very high.
