Kobbie Mainoo, Manchester United's emerging star is likely to get a massive salary hike.

Since joining the first team this season, Mainoo has been on a swift rise, now set to see his earnings at Old Trafford increase to £60,000 per week, a report from The Mirror indicates. This adjustment comes after a recent update to his salary, which went up to £20,000 following his 10th appearance with the team.

Mainoo, only 18, has an ongoing contract with Manchester United until 2027, with an option for an additional year. Talks are underway to extend his stay until 2030 and the club is desperate to get it done soon. The new deal is also expected to include bonuses tied to performance, hinting at the possibility of Mainoo becoming one of the top earners at the club, should his impressive progress continue.

The midfielder has already made 14 appearances in the league this season, each time proving his worth and showcasing significant improvement. His performances haven't just caught the eye at club level; England's manager Gareth Southgate is also paying attention. With the Euros approaching, Southgate is considering his options, especially given the current form of Kalvin Phillips. Mainoo could potentially be an asset to the national team, especially if any key players face injuries before the tournament.

Mainoo's recognition by Southgate underscores his rapid rise and the potential seen in him by both his club and country. As Manchester United prepares to secure his services for the long term, fans and pundits alike will be keen to see how this young talent develops and impacts both the Premier League and international stages.
