Manchester United are reportedly set to quadruple midfielder Kobbie Mainoo's wages with an improved contract following the club's FA Cup final win.
Erik ten Hag's side produced a superb performance to defeat reigning champions Manchester City 2-1 in the final at Wembley earlier this month.
Mainoo, who turned 19 earlier this year, scored the second goal in the first half, ending an excellent team move with a right-footed first time finish into the bottom right corner.

He is just one of the players to have benefitted from the opportunities given to youth players by Ten Hag, with fellow academy graduate Alejandro Garnacho scoring the first goal at Wembley.
And he has also been named in England's provisional 33-man Euro 2024 squad, with the expectation being that he will be in contention to start the opening group game against Serbia on June 16.
According to a report from the Daily Star, Mainoo has agreed a deal in principle on a new £80,000 per week contract at Old Trafford - which would quadruple his wages.

The offer is said to be a reward for his 'fine form' this season, with United bosses also keen to fend off any interest from other clubs. His current deal has three years left to run.
It is claimed that Mainoo will not sign the contract yet, however, as he wants to fully focus on Euro 2024 with England this summer.

With the tournament ending on July 14, it may be a while yet before the contract is made official - but United fans can seemingly rest easy in the knowledge that one of their top young talents will be staying at the club for the long-term.

Speaking about Mainoo's impact on United's season after the FA Cup final, Ten Hag told BBC Sport: "It was really incredible to watch Kobbie at his age.
"We wanted to bring him [through to the first in the summer], but in the second game of the pre-season he got an injury. It then took him so long to get back to fitness.
"I think we have to keep it calm because here in England, we do so much in pushing young players high and then hammer them when they have one or two bad performances."
