Man United’s one of the most recent Academy breakouts Kobbie Mainoo enjoyed a stunning campaign in the last season, making 32 appearances for Red Devils across all competitions in the 2023/24 season.

The 19-year-old midfielder is now being admired by Premier League rivals Chelsea, following the speculations of him not being happy with the reduced game time and also desiring for fresh £200,000-a-week contract.

🚨 Chelsea are ready to make a move as early as this month for Kobbie Mainoo if they recieve encouragement from the player. (@CharDuncker @hirstclass @peterrutzler – @TimesSport) #CFC pic.twitter.com/DFbhJnDqfz

Mainoo is under contract with Man United until Jun 30, 2027, and the move to Stamford Bridge seems complicated as things stand with sudden interest from The Blues for an English teenager. However, the lifelong Man United fan and Academy prospect’s future at Old Trafford hinges on the club’s new contract proposal.
