Manchester United have signalled a fresh push to renegotiate Kobbie Mainoo’s deal, aiming to align his terms with senior squad peers. His current contract runs to 2027 with a one‑year extension option, but talks have not started after the midfielder publicly sought a loan spell last summer.

Under Ruben Amorim, Mainoo never featured in a Premier League match and pushed for a loan during the window. Amorim’s departure saw interim boss Darren Fletcher hand the 20‑year‑old a start in the FA Cup third‑round loss to Brighton, and he retained his spot as Michael Carrick oversaw United’s convincing victory over Manchester City in the derby.

Mainoo signed a long‑term contract in 2023, and United expected a new agreement after his goal in the 2024 FA Cup final win over City and his start in England’s Euro 2024 final loss to Spain. With no deal reached and his treatment under Amorim appearing marginal, doubts linger over how United value the midfielder moving forward.
