The news that Man United could sell Mainoo and Garnacho comes from the fact that the English team needs to ensure financial fair play rules. These are two players who have grown up in the club's academy and are considered the future of Man United.
United must plan to sell more players to recruit others, to help coach Ruben Amorim have a squad capable of implementing his philosophy effectively. The focus is on transferring players who do not have a long-term future at Old Trafford, but Mainoo and Garnacho are different.
With Kobbie Mainoo, his current contract with Man United is until 2027 with the option of a 1-year extension, in addition to a salary increase based on performance.
The signing of Manuel Ugarte in the summer of 2024 was aimed at finding a good support for Mainoo, and the pair have shown signs of a promising partnership.
Meanwhile, Garnacho has a contract until 2028.
Sky Sports News veteran Melissa Reddy says: "Kobbie Mainoo is not worried about his future at Manchester United amid reports the club may have to sell academy graduates to comply with financial rules.
Mainoo's current terms expire in 2027, with an option to extend for a further year, and the deal has pay increases tied to performance.
“Manchester United have offered Mainoo a new contract which shows his growing status within the club. If you look at what the club has done, like bringing in Manuel Ugarte to support Mainoo, he will be a very important part of the long-term future of the club.”
Coach Ruben Amorim himself has no intention of selling these two young talents. He shared: “I really love my players and want to keep them, especially the talented players. I am really happy with Kobbie. He is improving, as is Garnacho.”
Before Mainoo and Garanacho, Man United successfully extended the contract of Amad Diallo until 2030, after excellent performances this season. These 3 players have bright futures at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, aging, high-paid players are considered to be factors that will soon "leave" Man United, so that the team can quickly buy new factors that are suitable for Amorim's playing philosophy.
