Kobbie Mainoo has reached full agreement on a new long-term contract at Manchester United, Fabrizio Romano reported on Monday, ending speculation over interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.T1, Romano
The deal runs multiple years beyond Mainoo’s previous expiry, with the revised terms reflecting his elevated standing in Ruben Amorim’s first-team picture this season.T1, Romano Romano described the agreement as concluded on principle, with announcement timing yet to be set by the club.
Romano broke the agreement on his channels on Monday, framing it as a full commitment from player and club after months of background contact from Madrid and PSG. The 21-year-old England international, who turned 21 in April, had been monitored by both clubs through the spring window without a formal bid landing at Old Trafford, per the same reporting.T1, Romano
Mainoo has been a regular for United under Amorim this season, operating in the central midfield berth that the head coach has built his 3-4-2-1 around since taking over. The new contract is the clearest signal yet from the INEOS-led recruitment structure that the academy graduate is being treated as a foundational piece rather than a sellable asset, a status his previous deal did not reflect on wages or length.
There is no fee attached, this being a contract renewal rather than a transfer, and Romano has not published the wage figure or the precise length of the extension. Both Real Madrid and PSG had registered interest earlier in the cycle without progressing to concrete offers, and that interest is now closed off by the agreement.T1, Romano
United are expected to confirm the extension in a club statement once the paperwork is finalised. Romano has not flagged a target date for the announcement, and the club has not commented publicly on the agreement at the time of writing.
