Nineteen-year-old new star Kobe · Meno showed up at United's training facility at UCLA on Friday, but he wasn't there to practice. Having played for England in the European Championship final, he will return next week. Meno was only there to visit his teammates, and he had been vacationing in California.

It's no accident that Meno chose to vacation in Los Angeles either, as he signed up with his own new individual sponsor at Nike headquarters there. "It's a dream come true," Meno said after signing the contract, "and it's great to finally sign with them, and it's great to be part of the Nike family."

Afterwards, he wore a Nike outfit and visited the last training session in United States sponsored by Adidas, where he chatted with team-mates such as Marcus Rashford, as well as the likes of new senior Dave · Sir Braitfford, Dan · Ashworth and Jason · Wilcox.

Manchester United owner Sir Jim · Ratcliffe is said to be ready to make Meno the face of Manchester United's new image. Rajue believes that Maynor embodies United's values and believes that making him the face of the club will inspire a new generation of fans and players, while also raising public awareness of the club. The process will involve a lot of public relations and marketing work, showcasing Meno's development at Manchester United and his rise to prominence with the England national team.

Therefore, after receiving a lucrative sponsorship contract from Nike, Merno will return to Manchester to earn another one, and Manchester United will also sign him with a new contract, which is believed to be more than £80,000 a week. Although there are still three years left on the deal that Mayno has signed after joining the first team, United want his long-term future to be secured and reward him for his outstanding performances.

Back in February, Rajue had given him the green light to a new contract, and the two sides have been negotiating ever since. Everything was under control as both sides had a good relationship and neither side was in a hurry as the Reds focused on finishing the season at the highest level. Ashworth has become United's new sporting director and has made renewing Mayno one of his priorities.

Once United return from United States, they will ensure a result on Maynor's new contract. He may be joined by €40 million winger Amad · Diallo, who has only one year left on his contract and must be renewed.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Scholes is better than himself and former Class of 92 team-mate Nicky · Bart. "I read some comparisons between me and this kid, don't waste your time, he's 10 times as much as I was when I was 18. I like the way he receives the ball, his composure, his awareness of what's around him and of course the big goals in big games. This boy is special and I'm glad he's a Red Devil."

Luckily, Meno doesn't seem to get carried away with fame and fortune, and he knows to keep a low profile. A Manchester United fan suggested that he devise a unique goal celebration, to which Meno politely declined: "Let Garnacho be in charge of the celebration, he loves the tricks."

There's really not much time left for Meno to celebrate, and with Manchester United taking on Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on Saturday after returning early next week, the young Reds will need to find their groove as soon as possible. In the final FA Cup final of last season, he broke through Pep Guardiola's side.
