Kobbie Mainoo has signed a long-term contract extension with Manchester United, committing his future to the club until 2031 and ending months of speculation.
The 21-year-old’s previous deal, signed in 2023 when he was still 17 years old, had been due to expire in the summer of 2027.

Mainoo has made 26 appearances across all competitions this season, including 24 in the Premier League, underlining his growing importance, particularly since Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim in January.
Since Amorim’s departure, Mainoo has started 12 league matches under Carrick, missing only the 2-1 defeat to Leeds United through injury.
“Manchester United has always been my home; this special club means everything to my family,” Mainoo said.
“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 regularly fight for major trophies in the years ahead.”
“Kobbie is one of the most naturally gifted young footballers in the world,” said Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox.
“His technical ability, professionalism and personality make him a role model for our young players and a credit to our Academy system.
“We are delighted he has extended his stay and believe he will develop into one of the best players in the world, playing a key role in a Manchester United team competing for the biggest honours.”
