Summary of Kobby Menu's new contract: from a player who was benched to becoming a regular in the Manchester United squad, one of England's top teams.
At the start of the season under Ruben Amorim, Kobby Menu did not appear even once in the Premier League as a starter. He was close to leaving the team, with Serie A giants Napoli showing serious interest in him.
However, brighter days followed when Michael Carrick took over in February 2026. Menu immediately became a starter and, in 11 matches under the interim coach, helped the team win 8 games. This marked his best form with the club, fueling rumors of an imminent new contract.
The details of Kobby Menu's new contract reveal a significant raise from his previous £20,000 weekly wage (about 868,639 baht) to a new five-year deal lasting until June 2031, with weekly pay rising to £150,000 (approximately 6,514,792 baht).
Recent reports state that the Manchester-based red giants will officially announce the new contract before the end of the 2025-26 season. The urgency to renew goes beyond his strong performances; the club is preparing to release Casemiro, who is out of contract, and may sell Manuel Ugarte if a suitable offer arrives.
Meanwhile, Alejandro Garnacho, a former teammate who transferred from Manchester United to Chelsea for £40 million (around 1.736 billion baht) on a seven-year contract until 2032, earning £110,000 (4.7 million baht) weekly, has been underwhelming in performance.
