Paul Pogba Shares His Thoughts on Kobbie Mainoo's Future at Man Utd

Mainoo's Resurgence at Man Utd

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has delivered a candid message to academy star Kobbie Mainoo regarding his future at Old Trafford. As the 21-year-old nears a lucrative new contract following a resurgence under Michael Carrick, Pogba stopped short of offering any opinion as to whether the England international should stay or go.

Transformation in 2026

Mainoo's future at Man Utd has undergone a dramatic transformation in 2026. Under former head coach Ruben Amorim, the England international found himself on the periphery, leading to reports that he had requested a loan exit last summer. However, following Amorim's dismissal and the appointment of Carrick as caretaker boss, Mainoo has been reinstated as a central figure in the starting XI.

  • Mainoo has been a cornerstone of United's recent form.
  • He delivered a standout performance in a 1-0 win at Chelsea.
Carrick has since singled out the youngster for praise, highlighting his maturity and tactical composure.

Pogba's Message to Mainoo

Despite being asked if Mainoo should leave Man Utd, Paul Pogba stopped short of offering his opinion. The French midfielder instead focused on Mainoo's recent performances, which have been impressive under Carrick's guidance.
