Kobbie Mainoo has signed a new contract with Manchester United that will keep him at the club until 2031, ending months of uncertainty surrounding his future.
The 21-year-old midfielder, who joined United’s academy in 2014, has made 98 appearances for the club. He scored the winning goal in the 2024 FA Cup final and also represented England in the Euro 2024 final.
“Manchester United has always been my home — this special club means everything to my family,” Mainoo said.
“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.”
Manchester United’s director of football, Jason Wilcox, described Mainoo as one of the most naturally gifted young players in the game.
“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,” he said.
“We are delighted that Kobbie has extended his stay 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 team challenging for the biggest honours.”
