United’s £35.1m Bet: Kobbie Mainoo Signs Five-Year Deal at £135k a Week
Manchester United have secured homegrown midfielder Kobbie Mainoo on a five-year contract that runs until June 2031. At £135,000 per week, the deal costs the club £7.02 million a year and £35.1 million over its lifespan, before performance incentives push the figure higher. This salary represents a more than fivefold increase on the young player’s previous deal. Mainoo’s rise this season—from the fringes and a potential January loan to 11 starts in 12 games under Michael Carrick—earned him an England recall and convinced United to lock him in as part of their youth revolution. With the club under financial scrutiny, this investment shows United’s faith in Mainoo’s potential to help drive a return to major trophies.
