Mainoo's United Future Uncertain

Contract talks for Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo continue to drift without resolution, with the 20-year-old's representatives still facing unresolved issues with the club hierarchy. The England international's situation has improved under Michael Carrick, who has restored him to the starting lineup after he was frozen out under former boss Ruben Amorim.

Mainoo agreed to a compromise on his new salary but didn't hear back from United until Amorim was fired in January. The midfielder currently earns significantly less than many teammates, a situation that feels increasingly outdated given his growing influence at the club.
