Kobbie Mainoo's deal ties him to Man United until 2031. His development will define their midfield rebuild

Kobbie Mainoo was once dubbed the future of Manchester United by Ruben Amorim. Twelve matches under Michael Carrick have confirmed he is the present as well.It’s been quite the season for the academy graduate, who only turned 21 this April. Mainoo largely had to make do with a substitute role and limited minutes under Amorim in the first half of this campaign, with the head coach favouring a midfield partnership of Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro to power his bespoke 3-4-3.Advertisement
