Man United youngster, Kobbie Mainoo, could be on the move this month after it was revealed he wants a 10-fold increase in his salary.
Fabrizio Romano says Man United are talking to Mainoo, and the delay in trying to get the talented teen’s new contract agreed is down to a number of factors.
Mainoo has a clear priority too, with the England international wanting to continue his career at Old Trafford.

However, as The Sun report, in order for that to happen, he wants to see an increase in his current weekly wage of £20,000 (Capology), to a monstrous £200,000.

Bayern Munich have clearly seen the chance to test the waters, with Chelsea also known to be interested in the player’s services if he becomes available.
The next couple of weeks could tell us much in terms of how willing United are to accede to Mainoo’s wishes and, conversely, how much Mainoo really does want to stay at his boyhood club.
Man United transfer saga takes another significant step!
There’s a cogent argument that he and his representatives have already fallen into the trap whereby an inflated ego wants an inflated salary to match.

Whilst there’s every chance that United will offer him a significant upgrade on his current remuneration, topping him up to £200k would make him the joint fifth highest paid player in the squad along with Antony – and only behind Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount in the financial pecking order.
Given that there seems to have been an awful lot of poor publicity surrounding the Red Devils of late, the club can ill afford any more headlines that paint them in a bad light.
Equally, losing one of their rising stars isn’t something that they can contemplate either.
Clearly, INEOS have another big decision to make, and one that they have to get right.
From now on wages have to be incentive based, like it used to be. Dangle the carrot in front of them and usually sub conscious desire kicks in. Pay top whack and desire / professional levels can easily drop – as United have seen in abundance in recent years. You can’ understand Kobbie wanting recognition and deservedly so. Ineos have to seriously consider how we’d replace him immediately. OK we’ve got exciting U18s with potential, Kone etc but they should be looking to bring them into the side eventually alongside a Mainoo in his early prime. New United have GOT to get this right and, with our new back room team, have every confidence 99% of the time it will work positively. Fan base has to try to Just ignore all the anti United punditry and media noise and stay focussed. Then, with a bit of luck along the way, we will return a a really serious consistent threat. Green shoots are beginning to show under Amorim. There’s a Fergie feeling to it”…….UNITED once more ,
Man united made a mistake of even offering within 100k, it should have been within 50k then the remaining 50k on performance bonuses. If he doesnt agree the current offer man u should cash in now his stocks and value are high
Woodward ruined it all with the contracts he offered. I do understand if the guy alongside you is on 350k a week and your on 20k a week and doing most of the work, you feel it. We have to get these wages right, as we seen Rashford when he got his big rise, he went downhill.
Most of the Academy players would jump at the chance to earn 20k a week for the first couple of years, with a rise every season depending on performance. This is the way to go forward. Mainoo should accept a big rise to maybe 70/80k a week with a performance rise every season. He is still only 20 years old with plenty of years left to play, and if we give him 200k a week now, we will have to do the same with every academy player after a year or 18 months playing with the first team.
