"Manchester United are reportedly ready to open talks with Kobbie Mainoo over a new contract in a significant update from Sky Sports journalist Rob Dorsett. Speaking in a video report for Sky here, Dorsett has explained that negotiations have not begun yet, but that Man Utd have had initial contact with Mainoo's representatives. With Casemiro leaving Old Trafford at the end of this season, as officially announced by both the club and the player yesterday, it seems Mainoo's future is now seen as key."
"Now that Amorim has gone and Michael Carrick is in as interim manager, it looks like Mainoo should have a bigger role in the United first-team again. The 20-year-old started in last weekend's Manchester Derby victory over rivals Manchester City, and performed very well in that 2-0 win. MUFC fans will now be hoping that Mainoo's new deal can be resolved as soon as possible, with Sky's report suggesting he could get lucrative new terms."
Manchester United have made initial contact with Kobbie Mainoo's representatives ahead of opening formal contract negotiations. Casemiro will leave Old Trafford at season's end, elevating Mainoo's importance to the squad. Mainoo spent much of the season on the bench under Ruben Amorim but is expected to see a larger first-team role now that Michael Carrick is interim manager. The 20-year-old started and excelled in the recent 2-0 Manchester Derby win over Manchester City. Mainoo progressed through United's academy and is viewed as a player around whom the club could build its midfield long-term.
