He added: “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.” The midfielder emphasized that playing for United carries expectations he fully embraces.

Reflecting on his development journey, Mainoo stated: “From The Cliff, to Littleton Road, to Carrington and ultimately Old Trafford, the journey so far has been incredible.” His progression through the club’s historic training grounds highlights a traditional academy pathway into the first team.

He continued: “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.” The statement underscored his long-standing connection with the club since childhood.

Looking ahead, Mainoo made his ambitions clear, saying: “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.” His contract extension signals both stability for United and a long-term bet on his continued growth.
