Michael Carrick has revealed that Manchester United is making progress in negotiations with midfielder Kobbie Mainoo regarding a new contract. The 20-year-old, who is valued at £43.5 million by Transfermarkt, is currently set to leave Old Trafford as a free agent next summer. If an agreement is reached, Mainoo would sign a contract lasting until 2031, with an option for an additional year. This development comes after a period where Mainoo faced uncertainty about his future, having been left out of the squad by previous management. Carrick's arrival has revitalized Mainoo's position in the team, and he has since become a regular starter alongside veteran midfielder Casemiro. Additionally, Carrick mentioned that the club is actively working on other deals to enhance the squad. Notably, Harry Maguire has also extended his contract until 2027, ensuring his continued presence at the club as they look to strengthen their roster.
