Manchester United are reportedly ready to open talks with Kobbie Mainoo over a new contract in a “significant” update from Sky Sports journalist Rob Dorsett.
Speaking in a video report for Sky here, Dorsett has explained that negotiations have not begun yet, but that Man Utd have had initial contact with Mainoo’s representatives.
With Casemiro leaving Old Trafford at the end of this season, as officially announced by both the club and the player yesterday, it seems Mainoo’s future is now seen as “key”.
The talented young England international has endured a frustrating season spent mostly on the bench, but that was under previous manager Ruben Amorim.

Now that Amorim has gone and Michael Carrick is in as interim manager, it looks like Mainoo should have a bigger role in the United first-team again.
