Scott Mctominay has extended his association with Manchester United as the midfielder has put pen to paper to a new contract.

The new deal will keep the player at the club till 2023 and will help him to continue his development at the club. The United academy graduate emerged as the most surprising element under former manager Jose Mourinho who gave the player a much needed recognition.

Mourinho had used the player on a number of occasions including the 3-1 defeat to West Ham United where he put the midfielder in a three man backline. But since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took the charge the player hasn’t been involved much except a cameo role against Tottenham Hotspur.

McTominay insists he is very happy to extend his stay at the club. “Manchester United has been my life since the age of five and playing for the club I’ve always supported is all I’ve ever wanted to do.

“I’m still young and I’m learning all the time from the manager, his coaching staff and from the world-class players in the squad.

I can’t wait to continue my progress at this great club.

The interim manager also added, “Scott has been with the club from a very young age, he has progressed through our Academy ranks and has made fantastic progress in the last couple of years.

Scott is a young midfielder and is constantly improving. He’s an intelligent player and wants to learn all the time.

“I am delighted he has signed a new contract and there is no doubt that he has a bright future ahead of him.”
