England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has committed his future to Manchester United after signing an improved long-term contract expected to tie him down at the club.
He has attracted interest from several clubs, including Chelsea, but it didn’t materialize, despite the strong link last year.
Kobbie Mainoo has always pledged his loyalty to Manchester United despite difficult times under Ruben Amorim, who prefers other players at his position.
Michael Carrick has contributed so much to help Kobbie Mainoo become the best version of himself after facing some struggles this season.

Mainoo said: “Manchester United has always been my home; this special club means everything to my family.
“I have grown up seeing the impact that our club has on our city, and I relish the responsibility that comes with wearing this shirt.
“From The Cliff, to Littleton Road, to Carrington and ultimately Old Trafford, the journey so far has been incredible.
“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 to regularly fight for major trophies in the years ahead.
Kobbie Mainoo is pleased to have carried on after joining the club back in 2014, and since then, he has developed into a top prolific midfielder.
The 21-year-old has already made 98 appearances since joining the senior team. Kobbie also earned international caps for England.
He was a huge part of the English team at the Euros 2024, which helped his country reach the final, which they lost to Spain.
The new contract will keep Mainoo for another five years, with Manchester United hoping to push any potential suitor away.
Kobbie Mainoo wants to remain at Old Trafford after pledging his future to an improved deal, signifying his place as an important member of the club.
