Kobbie: I live my dream every day at United

Manchester United have confirmed this afternoon that Kobbie Mainoo has signed a new contract at the club which will keep him at Old Trafford until at least 2031.

The 21-year-old midfielder has been a regular starter since Michael Carrick took charge of the club and in that time United have picked up more points than any team in the league.

Mainoo has spoken about his pride of representing his boyhood club and his hopes for more silverware in the future.

Manchester United has always been my home; this special club means everything to my family. I have grown up seeing the impact that our club has on our city, and I relish the responsibility that comes with wearing this shirt.

From The Cliff, to Littleton Road, to Carrington and ultimately Old Trafford, the journey so far has been incredible. I have the privilege of living my dream every single day, with the same relentless desire to succeed here as when I joined my first training session at the age of six. We can all feel the momentum building inside the club. I am determined to step up and play my role in helping Manchester United to regularly fight for major trophies in the years ahead.

Jason Wilcox, Manchester United Director of Football, sang the boyhood United fan’s praises.

Kobbie is one of the most naturally gifted young footballers in the world. His technical ability, dedicated professionalism and humble personality make him the perfect role model for our young players and a true credit to our outstanding Academy system.

We are delighted that Kobbie has extended his stay here and have full confidence that he will develop into one of the best players in the world, ready to play a pivotal role in a Manchester United team challenging for the biggest honours.
