Michael Carrick Secures Double Deal Amid Transfer Approval for ‘Top Player’ at Man Utd
Michael Carrick has overseen a rapid turnaround at Manchester United. The squad sit third in the Premier League and travel home to face Leeds next Monday.
United flew to Dublin on Monday for an intensive training week. The players had almost three weeks without a match.
Contracts close to completion
Reports say two key first-team players are close to new deals. Fabrizio Romano has described negotiations as advanced.
Kobbie Mainoo is thought to be set for a long-term renewal running until 2031. Harry Maguire is expected to extend by one season, to 2027, with an option for another year.
- Mainoo: reported five-year deal, contract target 2031.
- Maguire: short-term extension, runs until 2027 plus option.
Club sources hope to finalise both contracts before the season concludes. The move reflects Michael Carrick’s influence in accelerating a double deal at Man Utd.
Mainoo’s revival and Maguire’s future
Mainoo struggled for game time under Ruben Amorim. He has since regained form under Carrick and earned renewed trust.
Maguire has rebuilt his confidence this season. Rumours suggest he may accept reduced wages to remain at Old Trafford.
Rasmus Hojlund and Napoli exit
Rasmus Hojlund has impressed on loan at Napoli this season. He has scored 14 goals and supplied four assists in 37 appearances.
Napoli face an obligation to buy if they reach the Champions League. The agreed fee sits at about £38 million.
External praise and transfer implications
Kevin De Bruyne has publicly praised Hojlund’s potential. He called him someone who can become a top player.
If Napoli trigger the purchase, Manchester United would secure funds ahead of the summer window. That would support further transfer activity at Old Trafford.
Where things stand
Carrick’s interim spell is credited with stabilising results and squad morale. That momentum appears to be helping negotiations off the pitch.
Filmogaz.com will continue to monitor developments as United aim to announce contract renewals and possible outgoing transfers before season end.
