Manchester United are close to finalizing a lucrative new contract with rising star Kobbie Mainoo, although talks are currently on hold at the player’s request.
Mainoo has enjoyed a remarkable breakthrough season at Old Trafford. Following his first start in October, he solidified his place in the squad and even found the net in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
Impressed by his performances, United are eager to secure his long-term future with a significant pay rise. The proposed deal would reportedly quadruple his current wages to a staggering £80,000 per week.
While Mainoo has reportedly agreed to the contract in principle, he prefers to postpone final negotiations until after the upcoming European Championships in July. This allows him to focus entirely on his international commitments without distractions.
