Phil Foden has reached an agreement in principle on a new long-term contract with Manchester City, extending his stay at the Etihad Stadium until 2030, with an option for an additional year.

The 25-year-old midfielder's current deal was set to expire next summer, but the new agreement underlines a shared commitment between player and club despite a challenging run of form. Foden has not found the net since December 14 and has struggled to make a consistent impact in recent months.

He made a substitute appearance in City's 3-3 draw against Everton on Monday, a result that leaves City five points behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race, although they still have a game in hand.

Kobbie Mainoo has signed a new long term contract with Manchester United that will keep him at the club until 2031, ending months of speculation about his future.

The 21 year old England international had previously been tied to a deal set to run until 2027, with an option for an additional year. However, uncertainty grew earlier this season after he struggled for consistent playing time under former manager Ruben Amorim. During that period, Mainoo even explored the possibility of a loan move to Napoli in January, but the club turned down the request and made it clear they saw him as part of their long term plans.

Since Amorim's departure, Mainoo has reestablished himself in the team under interim manager Michael Carrick. He has started nearly every league match since the managerial change, missing only one game due to injury. His return to regular action has also helped him regain a place in the England squad, where he recently featured in international friendlies.
