Manchester United are closing in on a contract extension for their star youngster

18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo seems to have managed to impress Manchester United bosses, who want to extend the contract of their young talent.

The current agreement runs until the summer of 2027, but according to Football Insider, the Red Devils want to extend his contract for another year. This is despite the fact that Mainoo's last contract was signed only a little over a year ago.

It is noted that both parties are not against extending the co-operation, which the club is ready to back up with a significant increase in salary, and the negotiations themselves are going on intensively.

Mainoo this season broke into the core of Manchester United, having managed to play in 20 matches of the main team and marked two goals, including he scored to Wolverhampton and his goal allowed to take the away victory.
