“I have the privilege of living my dream every single day” — Mainoo pens long-term Man United contract | OneFootball

Kobbie Mainoo has said he wants to keep living his dream at Manchester United after signing a new contract at Old Trafford.

Mainoo has signed a new long-term contract at Manchester United that will run until 2031. The 21-year-old has been rewarded with a new deal after an impressive role in the club's recent performances under interim head coach Michael Carrick.

After a period out of favour under former manager Ruben Amorim, Mainoo has become a key cog in a team on the cusp ofChampions League qualification.

The midfielder, who has been with the Red Devils since the age of six, has made almost a century of first-team appearances and said he is delighted to extend his time at Old Trafford.

He called Manchester United 'home' and outlined his belief that there is 'momentum building inside the club'.

“Manchester United has always been my home; this special club means everything to my family,"Mainoo said after signing his new deal.

“I have grown up seeing the impact that our club has on our city, and I relish the responsibility that comes with wearing this shirt.

“From The Cliff, to Littleton Road, to Carrington and ultimately Old Trafford, the journey so far has been incredible. I have the privilege of living my dream every single day, with the same relentless desire to succeed here as when I joined my first training session at the age of six.

“We can all feel the momentum building inside the club. I am determined to step up and play my role in helping Manchester United to regularly fight for major trophies in the years ahead.”

Manchester United Director of Football, Jason Wilcox, called Mainoo one of the most naturally gifted young footballers on the planet and said the midfielder can be a role model to the club's academy prospects.

“Kobbie is one of the most naturally gifted young footballers in the world," he said.

“His technical ability, dedicated professionalism and humble personality make him the perfect role model for our young players and a true credit to our outstanding Academy system."
