Kobbie Mainoo 'is on verge of doubling Man United wage to £20,000 per week WITHOUT signing a new deal thanks to clause in current contract' after impressing with performances

Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly set to double his wages at Manchester United - without penning a new deal.

The 18-year-old midfielder currently earns £10,000 per week and signed a contract until 2026 earlier this year but will be in line to make £20,000.

In a turbulent season on and off the field for United, Mainoo has emerged as an oasis of calm and played in their last three matches after returning from a devastating pre-season ankle injury.

And the Daily Star reports that Mainoo's bumper pay rise will come about because a clause in his contract says that will happen when he becomes a first-team regular.
