Manchester United have rewarded Kobbie Mainoo with a new long-term contract and a marked pay rise, reportedly worth around \u00a3150,000 per week, equivalent to roughly $202,000. The extension is understood to run until 2031 and arrives after a period in which Mainoo moved from occasional appearances under Erik ten Hag to a breakthrough in the 2023\u201324 campaign.<\/p>\n
The midfielder finished that season with a goal in the FA Cup final and later started for England in the Euro 2024 final. His progress had stalled at times amid injuries and doubts over whether Ruben Amorim would pair him with Bruno Fernandes rather than replace the club captain. Those issues prompted speculation about an Old Trafford exit rather than an extension of a deal previously set to expire in 2027.<\/p>\n
The arrival of Michael Carrick in the coaching staff coincided with a reversal of Mainoo\u2019s fortunes. Now a regular starter in a side back in the Champions League, Mainoo has secured what media reports describe as a \u201cbumper\u201d increase, taking his weekly pay to the $202,000 area according to the Daily Mail. That figure is almost double what he could command across the previous three years but remains well below Manchester United\u2019s top earners.<\/p>\n
Casemiro is widely viewed as the club\u2019s top earner and is understood to be on about $470,000 per week, a sum that helps explain United\u2019s willingness to move him on. Bruno Fernandes sits in a similar top bracket and is thought to earn around $405,000 per week, per The Telegraph. Marcus Rashford would be entitled to a comparable wage should he return from his loan at Barcelona at season\u2019s end, as expected.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the squad, Matheus Cunha signed for roughly $270,000 per week after his move from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Matthijs de Ligt was reported on about $260,000 per week, while Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s deal was reported at around $216,000 per week by Sportklub. Bryan Mbeumo is cited at $202,000 per week by The Guardian, the same figure attributed to Mainoo.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was also important that Benjamin\u2019s desire has always been Manchester United,\u201d Elvis Basanovi\u010d revealed. \u201cBecause of that, he was willing to accept a slightly lower salary and I also accepted a lower commission.\u201d<\/p>\n
A simple ranking of weekly wages reported in public sources places Casemiro first on $470,000, Bruno Fernandes second on $405,000, followed by Matheus Cunha ($270,000), Matthijs de Ligt ($260,000), Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko ($216,000), and a tie at $202,000 for Bryan Mbeumo and Kobbie Mainoo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
