Manchester United are expected to start contract negotiations with a wonderkid at the club.
United are keeping an eye on the team’s future by securing the future of one of their wonderkids despite the present performance crisis of the first team at Old Trafford.
The club’s academy has a proven track record of turning out elite players, which is a pillar of its heritage.
Old Trafford has frequently served as a haven for young footballers, allowing them to develop their skills and reach their full potential.
For an unbelievable 87 years, The Red Devils have had at least one academy graduate in the match team – a feat unmatched in the footballing world.
The new ownership of Manchester United are also concentrating on the growth of its youth players.
Players like Chido Obi, who recently made his club debut, have shown a lot of promise.
Recently, the likes of Harry Amass and Tyler Fredricson have made their first team debuts as well.
We have also seen the likes of Jaydan Kamason and Bendito Mantato appear in more matchday squads.
In fact, we exclusively revealed that Bendito Mantato signed his first professional contract at Manchester United yesterday.

And now we have some more news in regards to the club looking to secure the future of another young talent at the club.
CentreDevils can exclusively reveal that Manchester United are set to begin contract talks with academy star Godwill Kukonki.
Sources tell CentreDevils that the young English defender has a big admirer in Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese head coach has been impressed with the centre-back’s training performances as well as in academy games.
In November, Kukonki was called up to train with the first team, and on December 4, he made his first appearance in the matchday squad against Arsenal.
At 6 feet 5 inches, Kukonki is a powerful presence in the back line even though he is only 17.
Back in November, Amorim made the following remarks regarding the defender: “He’s 16, but he impressed me a lot, so it’s also a sign to the youth players that they can be here”.
He followed up by saying: “If something happened with the first-team, they have to step up and I think he’s ready, he’s very adult to handle the Premier League’s demands”.
It now appears that Manchester United are looking to back the player further and provide him an extended stay at Old Trafford.
