Man United's Mainoo Future Uncertain

Kobbie Mainoo's long-term future at Manchester United remains up in the air as talks over a new contract drag on. The England midfielder's situation has improved since Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim, with Mainoo restored to the starting lineup, which strengthens his position in negotiations.

However, there are still unresolved issues between the 20-year-old's representatives and club officials. Mainoo agreed to a compromise on his salary but didn't hear back from United until Amorim was fired in January. Currently, he earns significantly less than his teammates, creating a situation that increasingly feels outdated given his growing influence at Old Trafford.
