Manchester United have confirmed that Kobbie Mainoo has signed a contract extension for the club this week, and fans are absolutely thrilled.
After months of speculation, Kobbie Mainoo’s future is finally committed to playing for Manchester United.
Mainoo’s new contract was announced on Thursday, with United locking the 21-year-old down long term with a deal running until 2031.
The deal brings Mainoo in line financially with other key players at the club and should hopefully end any concern over his future.
Bruno Fernandes congratulated Mainoo on Instagram after the announcement, while United fans have been reacting on TalkingPoints.

Manchester United fans react to Kobbie Mainoo contract
When the new contract was announced, there were six winners from Mainoo’s extension, one of which was United fans, and they have been reacting to the news on TalkingPoints.
We asked fans for their reactions and this is what they had to say.
One wrote, “It is a huge deal to get Kobbie signed, we should really have extended his deal a couple of years back, but better late than never. Having his deal secure ahead of the transfer window is really important, new signings will know there is no risk of losing a talented midfield partner.”
While a second said, “a great, great and wise decision made”, regarding Mainoo’s deal.
Another was delighted with the news, “Long time coming, delayed by a Portuguese he who must not be named. Wages are good too, and the length is perfect. Go be a legend, Kobbie!”
A fourth admitted relief, “Things could have been very different just a few months ago but I’m so glad he’s saying. One of our own”.
“I’m so so happy! Kobbie is one of my favorite players of the new era at Manchester United”, another fan posted.
Kobbie Mainoo’s new contract is OFFICIAL – let’s hear your instant reaction!!!
We nearly lost him…!
Mainoo contract is feel good moment fans deserve
Over the past 18 months, pre-Michael Carrick, United fans were forced to watch as Mainoo was run into the ground by Erik ten Hag and then underutilised and disrespected by Ruben Amorim.
Mainoo’s quality was always evident, and fans stuck by him.
This contract is a statement from the club that they are also well behind Mainoo to go on and reach his potential, becoming truly a world-class midfielder.
Fans see Mainoo as the embodiment of the club, and it’s a feel good moment that is well deserved.
