Manchester United had a challenging season but ended on a high note with a stunning FA Cup final victory over their rivals, Manchester City. This win marked their 13th title, prominently featuring young talent Kobbie Mainoo, who scored the second goal and excelled in his first major final. Fans were excited to see the academy graduate become a regular in the first team after brief appearances during Erik ten Hag’s inaugural season. Unfortunately, a pre-season injury sidelined the 19-year-old for four months.
Mainoo made a strong return, starting against Everton and appearing in 32 matches across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing one assist. His breakout season showcased his maturity and ability to score critical goals, earning him an international debut against Brazil. He is expected to play a significant role for England in Euro 2024. Mainoo’s impressive performances have already led to a doubled salary, recognizing him as a key first-team player.
INEOS is eager to keep Mainoo and has approved a contract extension. However, Mainoo is currently focused on his international duties and plans to sign the new deal upon his return from Germany. Barcelona has shown interest in him, with journalist Sacha Tavolieri reporting that Manchester United is aware of Barça’s interest and is in talks with the player’s representatives about a contract extension with a substantial pay increase.
Despite speculation of a potential swap deal involving Raphinha, such a move seems improbable due to Barcelona’s financial issues, preventing them from making a significant offer for Mainoo. As his performances continue to shine, more clubs are likely to show interest, making it essential for Manchester United to secure his contract soon.
