The youngster had reportedly been close to moving away from United during Ruben Amorim’s tenure. The Portuguese coach preferred other options to Mainoo, and only gave him limited opportunities.
However following Amorim’s dismissal, Mainoo has enjoyed a renaissance under Michael Carrick. The 21-year-old has been reinstated as a starter in United’s midfield and has thrived.
Speaking to the club after signing his deal, Mainoo said: “Manchester United has always been my home. This special club means everything to my family.
“I have grown up seeing the impact that our club has on our city, and I relish the responsibility that comes with wearing this shirt.
“From The Cliff, to Littleton Road, to Carrington and ultimately Old Trafford, the journey so far has been incredible. 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.”
The 21-year-old has long established himself in the first-team, and has tallied 98 appearances across all competitions. This includes the 2024 FA Cup final, in which he scored the winning goal.
Jason Wilcox, United’s Director of Football, added: “Kobbie is one of the most naturally gifted young footballers in the world.
“His technical ability, dedicated professionalism and humble personality make him the perfect role model for our young players and a true credit to our outstanding academy system.
“We are delighted that Kobbie has extended his stay here and have full confidence that he will develop into one of the best players in the world, ready to play a pivotal role in a Manchester United team challenging for the biggest honours.”
