Incomings and outgoings are not the only things INEOS are focussed on at Manchester United with plenty of thought being put into contract renewals.
Amad Diallo has emerged as the most in-form United star this pre-season and he is poised to begin the new season as a starter on the right wing.
After a few memorable goals last campaign, this is Amad’s chance to finally fulfill his promise with the player revealing recently that he is open to staying at the Red Devils for the rest of his career.
And the new co-owners are expected to hand the Ivorian a brand new deal once the team is back from the United States pre-season tour.
Amad set to earn new deal
The former Atalanta ace’s current deal ends next year with the club holding the option of extending it by a year.
Another breakthrough star who is poised to earn a new deal is Kobbie Mainoo after a fairytale season last time out which saw him establish himself as a bonafide starter in the first team and a regular for his national team as well.
There have already been verbal agreements between the club and the midfielder regarding the outline for a new deal which Sir Jim Ratcliffe had greenlit once he came onboard.
There was a delay with the player focussing on his international assignments which saw plenty of European giants express their interest but there is no way the club are letting their latest superstar leave.
Dan Ashworth is in charge of the new deals and according to HITC Football, the young duo are expected to be offered brand-new deals upon their return to Manchester.
“HITC understands that once Manchester United return from their USA pre-season tour, the club are keen to sort out new contracts for two key players.
Mainoo as well
“Mainoo is very happy with life at United and whilst the club are in no way worried about his future, they want him tied up sooner rather than later.
“With the teenager now rated as one of the best youngsters in Europe, Mainoo is set to land a contract that befits that status. United aren’t stopping with Mainoo either with Amad Diallo also another target for a contract extension.
“Sources have confirmed to HITC that United have also opened talks with Amad’s camp about prolonging his deal – which in theory expires in 12 months, although the club does hold the option to extend that by a further year.”
Mainoo is currently out on holiday and once he is back, the England international is also slated to become the new global face of the club with INEOS set to focus promotional material around the academy graduate.
