According to Sky Sports, Manchester United plans to discuss a contract extension with young player Menu, but the timing will be after the transfer window closes. Although Menu’s current contract with Manchester United runs for at least another three years, the club has decided to initiate early discussions on a new deal to reward his impressive performance last season.
Menu’s contract with Manchester United does not expire until 2027, and there is an option to extend it by one year, along with a clause that ties salary increases to performance, meaning the contract has at least three years remaining. Therefore, Menu’s team is relaxed about the upcoming contract negotiations, given ample time to discuss the matter.
However, Manchester United’s decision to renew the contract is to reward Menu for his breakthrough performance last season, and also to demonstrate that Menu is a key part of the club’s future. Of course, the most critical aspect is improving Menu’s terms and conditions.
Menu himself believes that Manchester United has clearly demonstrated its commitment to him and is convinced that the club is on the right path. Currently, Manchester United also wants to build a midfield centered around Menu, which is an important part of the club’s revival plan. The club is also looking in the transfer market for the best partner for Menu, with Ugarte being the top choice.
