DO: Man Utd is closing in on extending Mainoo & Maguire's contracts

According to sports journalist David Ornstein's latest report, Manchester United is reaching out to Mainoo and Maguire to discuss the most possible ways to extend their stay at the club.

Manchester United are close to an agreement with Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire over new contracts.

Although work still needs to be done, negotiations are now at an advanced stage as United look to conclude terms with both players.

Mainoo is currently tied down until June 2027 — with an option to prolong by 12 months — and the proposed extension would take him through to the summer of 2031 on a significantly improved salary.

The 20-year-old midfielder wanted to leave Old Trafford on loan after falling out of favour during Ruben Amorim’s tenure as head coach — although the club always insisted they wanted him to stay — but has returned to prominence under Michael Carrick and was called back into the England squad on Friday.

Maguire is scheduled to become a free agent at the end of this season, however a fresh one-year deal with an option to add an extra 12 months is in the process of being finalised.

Both players have started all nine of Carrick’s games in charge so far.

United have been in impressive form under the former United midfielder and head into facing Bournemouth on Friday night in third place in the Premier League.
