NorthEast United United strengthened their squad with Mayakkannan Muthu’s signing.
NorthEast United FC have announced the signing of Mayakkannan Muthu on a multi-year deal from Sreenidi Deccan FC. The 26-year-old midfielder from Tamil Nadu brings strength to the midfield of the Highlanders as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Mayakkannan Muthu began his football journey at Noble Football Academy, Tamil Nadu. His senior career took off with Gokulam Kerala FC, where he transitioned from the reserve team to the first team and played a crucial role in winning the I-League title in the 2020/21 season.
In the following season, Mayakkannan joined I-League debutants Sreenidi Deccan, where he showed his versatility, primarily playing as an anchor man and a box-to-box midfielder. He also captained Sreenidi Deccan in their 2023-24 season, where he led them to a second-place finish in the league.
Expressing his delight at joining the club, Mayakkannan said, “I am thrilled to join NorthEast United FC. The ambition of the club and the vision they have for the future motivated me to come here. I am excited to work with the team and contribute to our success in the upcoming seasons.”

I look forward to working with him and helping him develop further as we aim for greater achievements this season.”
Mandar Tamhane, CEO of NorthEast United FC, shared his thoughts on the signing, ” Maya is a naturally gifted footballer and we’ve had our eyes on for a while now. We see great potential in him, and with the technical staff we have here, he has the opportunity to grow into a top-class midfielder. We are confident that he will make a significant impact on our squad.”
