There has been talk for some time that Koby Mainu would sign a new contract with Manchester United.
The 18-year-old signed a new contract with United less than a year ago, linking him to OID Trafford until 2030, but the club have established themselves phenomenally in the first team under Eric. They say they are willing to offer him new and improved terms. This season is Tenbaba.
As things stand, Mainu is one of the top names on the team sheet, along with fellow academy graduate Alejandro Garnacho. The Academy is something we are proud of and it is important that our manager Ten Hag takes those changes into account.
Of course, if talented prospects like Mainu and Garnacho are ready to play senior games, it won’t be difficult.
So without further ado, here are some of today’s biggest headlines regarding Manchester United.
