Manchester United player Kobbie Mainoo has officially signed a new deal with the club until 2031. TShortly before breaking into the first team, the United midfielder had agreed to a previous deal which was to expire in 2027, with a one-year extension.

Mainoo, 21, struggled for playing time under former United manager Ruben Amorim, which prompted him to push for a loan move to Italian side Napoli during the January transfer window. But United rejected that request, making it clear that the club wanted him.
The Stockport-born academy product has since become a key figure, starting all but one of the 12 league matches under interim boss Michael Carrick.
“Manchester United has always been my home; this special club means everything to my family,” he said via BBC. “I have the privilege of living my dream every single day, with the same relentless desire to succeed here as when I joined my first training session at the age of six.
“We can all feel the momentum building inside the club. I am determined to step up and play my role in helping Manchester United to regularly fight for major trophies in the years ahead.”
United director of football Jason Wilcox also said Mainoo was “one of the most naturally gifted young footballers in the world,” and expressed his delight that the youngster “has extended his stay here and have full confidence that he will develop into one of the best players in the world.”
Mainoo’s red hot form at United also restored his spot in the England national team. He featured in friendlies against Uruguay and Japan last month. It was his first international call-up from England boss, Thomas Tuchel and first appearance in an England shirt since September 2024.
