So, what has been reported about Manchester United and Kobbie Mainoo? Let’s take a look.
Kobbie Mainoo to double his wages at Manchester United
Well, according to The Daily Star, Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is going to earn double his current salary.
Mainoo earns £10,000 per week as a salary at the moment. The report has noted that his wages will double to £20,000 per week because he is a matchday regular in Erik ten Hag’s first-team squad.
The 18-year-old England Under-19 international midfielder has been on the books of United since he was nine.
Mainoo has made two appearances in the Premier League and has made one substitute appearance in the UEFA Champions League for the Red Devils so far in his career.

Kobbie Mainoo is a big prospect for United
In my view, Kobbie Mainoo is a big prospect for Manchester United, but I am not going to get carried away with the 18-year-old just yet.
After all, we all thought that Marcus Rashford was going to become world class when he first burst onto the scene at United, but the England international forward is not in that elite bracket yet.
But, I have to say that Mainoo has shown some very promising signs. Former United star Lee Sharpe has been so impressed with the teenager that he has said that he is “better” than Sofyan Amrabat and Casemiro, adding: “He always looks composed and knows what’s around him – he comes across as an experienced first-teamer, but he’s only been in the team for two minutes.”
It will be interesting to see how Mainoo develops and progresses under United manager Erik ten Hag in the coming weeks and months.
