April 30 (Reuters) - Manchester United's ⁠Kobbie Mainoo signed a new contract that will ⁠keep him at Old Trafford until 2031, the club ‌said on Thursday, completing a turnaround in fortunes for the midfielder who fell out of favour under former manager Ruben Amorim.

The England international, who ​turned 21 this month, has made ⁠98 senior appearances for ⁠United, scoring seven goals with five assists.

An academy graduate, Mainoo played ⁠in ‌England’s Euro 2024 final and scored in United’s FA Cup final victory over Manchester City that ⁠year.

“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," Mainoo said in a statement.

"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."

Mainoo endured a difficult start to the season under Amorim, ⁠making 11 appearances off the bench in the Premier League before the Portuguese was sacked in January.

The midfielder has since re-established himself under new manager Michael Carrick, starting 12 of ​United’s last 13 Premier League matches ⁠and missing only the game against Leeds United through injury.

Third-placed ​United face Liverpool in the Premier ‌League on Sunday, with a win ​securing their place in next season’s Champions League.
