Since Michael Carrick took charge, the atmosphere around the squad has shifted in a way that feels as intense and focused as a Bangla Cricket Live showdown watched by millions. Under the previous regime, attacking efficiency often stalled and performances against elite opponents fell flat, but recent victories over Manchester City and Arsenal have transformed belief inside the dressing room. Confidence is rising, energy is back, and players trusted by the new coach are fighting not only for results but also to reshape their futures and prove their worth.

Among them, 20-year-old Kobbie Mainoo has emerged as a defining figure. Carrick restored him to the starting lineup, helping him move past earlier fitness concerns and a dip in form. Over the last few matches, his performances have been consistently strong, blending composure with maturity well beyond his age. As a result, Manchester United supporters have rebuilt trust with him, mending a fractured relationship and rediscovering belief in his potential. Club executives have reportedly abandoned any plans to move him on during the winter window and are instead preparing talks over a new long-term contract.

As a homegrown talent, Mainoo’s current wages reflect his academy origins rather than his growing influence. Earning around £25,000 per week, his salary is widely viewed as modest for a player now central to United’s plans. Previously, he voiced frustration not only with pay but also with limited playing time. Carrick’s arrival changed that equation almost overnight. Opportunities are no longer in doubt, leaving contract terms as the final piece of the puzzle. Mainoo has repeatedly described himself as a product of Old Trafford, making it clear that his earlier uncertainty stemmed from a lack of trust rather than ambition elsewhere.

With Carrick backing him, negotiations are expected to be more constructive, and interest from clubs such as Napoli has cooled. If both sides find common ground, continuity seems likely. The remaining question is financial balance. While reports suggest Mainoo hopes for a salary closer to the £200,000 per week bracket, it remains to be seen how far the club’s ownership is willing to go and where compromise may land.

According to Fabrizio Romano, discussions are already underway, with Mainoo’s current deal set to expire next summer. Carrick is keen to accelerate talks and secure his commitment. With Mainoo anchoring a new midfield structure, United may reduce the need for expensive reinforcements, lowering overall costs. As the season unfolds with the same suspense as a Bangla Cricket Live climax, his renewal could become one of the club’s most important victories off the pitch.
