'Unsellable' Man Utd duo earning similar money to Tom Heaton as 'issues' arise Manchester United are reportedly struggling to negotiate new contracts with Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, with the two youngsters currently earning the same wages as third-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
Despite finding minutes harder to come by under new United head coach Ruben Amorim this season, the rise of Mainoo and Garnacho has been one of the club’s few bright points in the past year.
In April 2024, before the duo had reached scored to beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final, reports claimed they were two of three players, alongside Rasmus Hojlund, who were not for sale under any circumstances in the upcoming transfer window.
But the Daily Mail now claims United are struggling to reach agreements over new deals with both Mainoo and Garnacho, whose current wages do not reflect their role in the squad.
With lacklustre results on the pitch and fall outs with big players already a problem at Old Trafford, upsetting their two young talents by not paying them more - and potentially losing them - signifies another issue which the club has to address.
