Manchester United are all set to offer a new contract to Bendito Mantato
Manchester United stand poised to extend a new contract offer to their promising wonderkid, Bendito Mantato.
That is as per The Sun. The versatile 16-year-old has garnered significant attention for his impressive performances within the United academy, earning him the opportunity to train with the first team last month.
Mantato’s new contract is expected to include provisions for a future professional agreement. This move underscores the club’s commitment to securing and nurturing young talent within their ranks.
Despite his tender age, Mantato has already attracted interest from other clubs eager to lure him away from Old Trafford. However, United remain determined to retain the highly-rated winger, offering him a pathway to further development and potential success at the highest level.
The teenager’s potential has not gone unnoticed, with comparisons drawn to established stars like Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka. Mantato’s versatility, coupled with his impressive attacking prowess, has seen him excel both as a winger and a full-back, adding depth and dynamism to United’s youth ranks.
In 11 appearances across all competitions, he has five goals and two assists this season. He can play right-wing and left-back. However, best believe that the optimum use of his natural talent on the ball would come from attacking positions.
Amidst the uncertainty surrounding his future, Mantato remains focused on his development, balancing the allure of potential suitors with his commitment to United’s academy. Mantato’s impact on the pitch certainly speaks volumes about his burgeoning talent and potential.
