Paul Pogba spoke about Kobbie Mainoo's future at Manchester United

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba shared his thoughts on the future of club graduate Kobbie Mainoo. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The young footballer currently holds a firm place in the team's starting lineup, and the club's management is on the verge of signing a new five-year contract with him with a salary of between 120,000 and 150,000 pounds sterling per week. According to Goal.com, this agreement is an important part of the team's strategy to build a new squad relying on its own academy graduates.

Mainoo's position and status in the team changed dramatically in 2026. Under former coach Ruben Amorim, he did not have sufficient game time, remained on the bench, and even planned to move to another team on loan.

However, the appointment of Michael Carrick as head coach completely changed the situation for the better. The young midfielder particularly showcased his skills in the winning match against Chelsea, earning high praise from the coach.

Paul Pogba, appearing on Rio Ferdinand's show, expressed warm thoughts about Mainoo's talent and advised him to stay at Manchester. According to Pogba, if the coach fully trusts the player and he feels happy in the team, then despite the interest from other prestigious clubs, it would be better for him to continue his career specifically at Old Trafford.

The experienced midfielder noted that Mainoo is greatly loved by fans and that he has every opportunity to become a true legend there. The club's management aims to formalize the new contract with Mainoo by the end of the current season.

This step will serve to strengthen the team's future foundation. Pogba added that he enjoys watching the young star play and wishes him great success regardless of the decision he makes.

Currently, the footballer is recognized as one of the most reliable players in the team's central midfield.
