Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly set to double his wages at Manchester United – without penning a new deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old midfielder currently earns \u00a310,000 per week and signed a contract until 2026 earlier this year but will be in line to make \u00a320,000.<\/p>\n
In a turbulent season on and off the field for United, Mainoo has emerged as an oasis of calm and played in their last three matches after returning from a devastating pre-season ankle injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the Daily Star\u00a0reports that Mainoo’s bumper pay rise will come about because a clause in his contract says that will happen when he becomes a first-team regular.<\/p>\n
While the exact details of that remain cloudy, the newspaper claims that Mainoo is close to triggering the clause.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gary Neville called Mainoo the ‘best player by a street’ in United’s 3-0 win over Everton last weekend, even despite Alejandro Garnacho’s stunning overhead kick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since then, he has turned in strong performances against Galatasaray and Newcastle, even is his team-mates appeared rudderless in the latter encounter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mail Sport understands that such were his performances in pre-season, the club would not have signed Sofyan Amrabat on loan had the youngster not been injured.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
He assisted Bruno Fernandes against Arsenal in pre-season\u00a0and earned a start against Real Madrid before he was forced off after 18 minutes with his injury.<\/p>\n
It has been a long road back since that July disappointment and Mainoo has worked well to win his place.<\/p>\n
He bagged a couple of assists for the Under-21s in the EFL Trophy away at Salford City in November, causing one fan to state that he was already the club’s best midfielder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It has been a long road back since he suffered an ankle injury against Real Madrid in July\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gary Neville felt he was the team’s ‘best player by a street’ in United’s 3-0 win over Everton, which was his first game back<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bruno Fernandes feels that Mainoo is a ‘special’ player who is ‘eager to listen to everyone’\u00a0<\/p>\n
While crowning him as such would be a rather hasty response to the form he is showing, there is little doubt among his coaches that he possesses the quality to rise to the top.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the Everton triumph, Fernandes said: ‘I always talk about Kobbie. I think he\u2019s a special player too. What he puts on the game, what he gives to the team, it\u2019s known to anyone (in the squad).<\/p>\n
‘I think he has great players in front of him to learn [from] because he plays with one of the best in the world like Casemiro. Also Sofyan [Amrabat] who plays in that position \u2013 that is really good and he\u2019s getting everything from them.<\/p>\n
‘He wants to learn, is eager to learn and I think that\u2019s probably the best capability he has because he wants to learn every time. He\u2019s eager to listen to everyone to get better and better.’<\/p>\n
