Premier League
Man Utd set to open contract talks with wonderkid
Manchester United are expected to open contract talks with midfielder Kobbie Mainoo this summer, according to Football Insider.
The 18-year-old made his full Premier League debut for the Red Devils in late 2023 and went on to become a mainstay in the XI.
The club's hierarchy are clearly impressed by his immense progress in a short space of time and they are keen to reward him for his efforts.
Mainoo is currently one of the lowest earners at £20,000 per week and his salary could be bumped to £50,000 per week with a renewal.
No negotiations are planned at the current point of time. The club could wait until his return from the European Championship in Germany.
Mainoo has been picked in England's provisional 33-man squad for the tournament and he is widely expected to make the 26-man side.
Alongside Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire could be involved at the Euros if they are able to prove their fitness in the coming days.
