Golden Boy Kobbie Mainoo Nears Doubling His Wage at Manchester United

Kobbie Mainoo, the highly touted young talent at Manchester United, is on the verge of doubling his weekly wage at the club. In February, United secured Mainoo’s future by signing him to a new contract that runs until 2027, with an option for a one-year extension.

Mainoo’s contract includes incremental pay increases, one of which will boost his salary to £20,000 once he reaches double figures in first-team appearances. Given his impressive performances since being given an unexpected opportunity, it is likely that he will achieve this milestone before the end of the month.

Last week, the 18-year-old midfielder was a surprise selection for United’s match against Everton, which was played in front of a sold-out crowd at Goodison Park. Mainoo played a starring role in United’s 3-0 victory and followed it up with another impressive display off the bench in the midweek 3-3 draw against Galatasaray in Istanbul. These appearances bring his total to five, halfway towards triggering the double-your-money increase.

In addition to his base wage, Mainoo will also receive substantial bonuses for being in the matchday squad, with additional clauses for appearances and wins. However, the club is determined to keep their academy stars grounded and avoid repeating past mistakes of offering large contracts too early in a player’s career.
