Kobe Maino, considered the future of Manchester United, plans to leave the team.
Britain's Guardian reported on the 8th (Korea time) as exclusive news that "'Mainu plans to reject the contract with Manchester United and move abroad.'"
The Guardian has expressed its intention to move abroad after rejecting Manchester United's new contract. Mainu held long-term negotiations with Manchester United, but failed to reach an agreement. Chelsea have been discussed as a destination, but a move to another English club has not been included in the current option.

News of the difficulties in renewing contracts between Mainu and Manchester United has been consistently heard. David Onstein, a journalist with The Athletic, who boasts the highest credibility in the transfer market, will also expire in 2027, just like Minudo Marcus Rashford in January. There is no news about the new contract. Except for Lenny Yoro and Ahmad Diallo, everyone could be eligible for the transfer. Manchester United are supporting Hoobeng Amorim to lead the club's transformation', noting that Mainu is likely to be the target of sale.
Mainu is a young midfielder born in 2005, who first stepped into the Manchester United first team stage in 2022. Mainu, who barely played in the first season, played from the 2023-2024 season in earnest. Even at a young age, he has become the main player in Manchester United's midfield, beating his seniors, showing his stable ball guard ability, depression, forward dribbling, and calmness. He also showed growth by joining the England national team and participating in the Euro 2024 final, and was also a finalist for the Golden Boy in 2024. Mainu has been consistently listed as a starter this season, and his position remains under coach Amorim after Erik tenhach's dismissal. He played 25 games despite his absence due to injury.

The problem is the difference in weekly demand between players and clubs. Mainu wants a huge pay rise. Mainu reportedly demanded 180,000 pounds (about 330 million won), which is an amount that top players are also receiving in the English Premier League (EPL). It is compared to 190,000 pounds (about 350 million won) of Son Heung-min, Tottenham's highest weekly wage.
Manchester United expressed disapproval of Mainu's request because it suffered a setback by giving such a large weekly salary to promising players or players who have played in several seasons earlier. Several players, including Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Phil Jones and Luke Shaw, have suffered sluggishly after signing such contracts.
Mainu is in a position to push for an overseas transfer after the negotiations went awry. The Guardian says 'Manchester United will seek to maximize the selling value of Mainu. However, it will not be easy for fans to accept the loss of youth-turned-players in team rebuilding. Negotiations are not completely over yet, but the possibility of a transfer of Mainu has emerged, and Manchester United is also worried about the transfer market after this season.
