The full details of Kobbie Mainoo's new Manchester United contract have emerged online after youngster committed his future to his boyhood club.

After months of reports suggesting the Mainoo's future at Old Trafford was in doubt following his falling out with former manager Ruben Amorim, the 21-year-old has penned a new deal with the club.

The new deal places will see Mainoo remain at United until at least 2031, with an improved salary set to place him amongst other members of the first-team.

Since Michael Carrick took over as interim manager following Amorim's sacking in January, Mainoo has enjoyed a new lease of life, starting 11 of the past 12 games.

He has completed 90 minutes in each of those games, except for the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle in which he was taken off after 76 minutes.

The midfielder has also earned his way back into the England squad under Thomas Tuchel, and could go to the World Cup this summer.

"I love every minute of it even though it's not always been wins. It's amazing to be on the pitch especially under the boss now and I'm feeling the confidence from him," Mainoo told Sky Sports following the 2-1 win over Brentford.

Now, The Athletic's Laurie Whitwell has revealed further details relating to Mainoo's new contract.

He reports that the new deal puts the 21-year-old midfielder 'among the club's first-team-level earners', and is set to be incentivised similar to other United contracts.

It had claimed last year that Mainoo had requested a wage of £180,000 per week, but journalist @SullyTalkz suggests the figure is 'close to' £135,000 week as a base wage plus potential bonuses.

The midfielder is said to have been present at the club's Carrington training ground on Wednesday to put pen to paper.

Mainoo's new deal is expected to be officially announced by United before the end of the current season, with four Premier League games still to play.

Carrick's side are 11 points clear of sixth-placed Brighton in the race for Champions League qualification, with five English clubs due to qualify through their domestic finishing position.

Elsewhere, Fabrizio Romano reports that the agreement will allow United to focus on their other midfield priorities for the summer transfer window.

He re-iterates that the club still want to sign two new midfielders alongside Mainoo's new contract, with Casemiro already confirming that he will leave the club on a free transfer and Manuel Ugarte set to be placed on the transfer list.
