Manchester United Starlet Kobbie Mainoo is ready to reject a new contract offer and to completely leave the Premier League has been claimed.
Mainoo, 19, made his united debut under Erik ten Hag in January 2023. His form among the Dutch boss earned him his first senior English caps and he was part of the Gareth Southgate team for Euro 2024, while he continued to play a part at club level under Ruben Amorim.
The Old Trafford contract from the teenager expires in 2027, with the club having an option for 12 months. With United, however, the second season in a row wanted to miss Champions League football – unless they can win the Europa League – he seems ready to fly the nest.
United itself likes to continue to capture the academy product on a new deal in the midst of the interest of Chelsea. He is currently one of the lower earners of the club, but seems ready to try his happiness abroad.
According to The Guardian, no agreement has been reached, despite 'long -term' negotiations between the representatives of Mainoo and United. The young person, who was born in nearby stockport, would not have the desire to leave United for another Premier League club.
United's financial situation saw them open the door to every member of his team who left in January, although the highest outputs were loans. Mainoo, which is currently injured, is reportedly appreciated at around £ 70 million by United, and the amount of remaining time in his deal can enable them to retain their asking price.
If he finally moved to another European competition, he would follow in the footsteps of some of his teammates from England. Harry Kane came to Bayern Munich in 2023, while Jude Bellingham played for Real Madrid and former United Starlet Angel Gomes thrive in Lille.
Mainoo is usually used as a central midfielder for United, but the arrival of Ruben Amorim and a switch to a 3-4-3 set-up has led to change. The young person played as a number 10 against FCSB in the Europa League in January, where a goal and assist led the head coach of United to suggest that he could have a long -term future.
“Now more than a 10, you can feel that he was so free, playing the ball near the box is really good, the small connections,” Amorim said after that victory in Romania. “We need time to work with the players and to understand the best positions for them.
“Kobbie Mainoo played in a different position, with more freedom, more near the box. He is so technical, he can change the game there. So I think it's a good position for him, we'll see. But I am happy that Kobbie enjoys the game more.”
