MANCHESTER, England (AP) \u2014 Manchester United midfielder Coby Mainu<\/span> On Thursday, he signed a five-year contract until June 2031.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, the England international’s future was in doubt as he struggled to maintain his place in the first team. Former coach Ruben Amorim<\/span>. However, Mainu was an important person; United’s return<\/span> He was recalled to England late in the season ahead of the World Cup. <\/p>\n

“I am determined to step up and play my part to help Manchester United compete regularly for major trophies over the next few years,” said Mainoo, 21.<\/p>\n

Born in Stockport, near Manchester, Mainu first joined United at the age of six and developed through their famous academy.<\/p>\n

Despite playing a leading role in England’s run to the 2024 European Championship final and being considered one of the top talents of his generation, Mainu lost his place under Amorim. However, after Amorim was sacked in January, Mainu was reappointed by interim coach Michael Carrick and has been a mainstay ever since.<\/p>\n

“Coby is one of the most naturally gifted young footballers in the world,” said United’s director of football, Jason Wilcox. “We are delighted that Coby has extended his stay here and have full confidence that he has developed into one of the best players in the world and is ready to play a central role in a Manchester United team that challenges for the biggest honours.”<\/p>\n
