Explained: Man United's stance on new Kobbie Mainoo contract (reliability: 5 stars)

Manchester United are in 'no rush' to offer Kobbie Mainoo a new long-term contract at the club.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the talks between the two parties have been ongoing for a while — since February.

The player's salary is currently being discussed now that the 18-year-old has established himself as a first-team player under Erik ten Hag.

Mainoo is 'happy' to stay at Man United while the Red Devils want him to be the face of their new project, making a new contract more of a formality at this point.
