Overview
- Reports state formal negotiations have not restarted despite the 20-year-old's return to the starting XI under interim coach Michael Carrick.
- Mainoo's deal runs until 2027 with a club option for an extra year, leaving his long-term terms unresolved despite contractual protection for the club.
- He previously rejected a new offer and was reported to have requested a loan after losing his place under former manager Ruben Amorim.
- Carrick has praised Mainoo's ability and says he is limiting instructions to let the midfielder regain rhythm and confidence.
- England manager Thomas Tuchel says Mainoo is back in contention for selection, and local reports suggest United could pursue another midfielder this summer.
