The Red Devils academy graduate had two years remaining on his previous deal but has earned a contract in light of his progress.

Mason Greenwood has put pen to paper on a new deal with Manchester United until June 2025, with the option to extend for a further year.

Greenwood was handed his senior debut by Jose Mourinho in the pre-season tour ahead of the 2018-29 season, and he has enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence at the club since then.

The striker became the youngest Man United player to play in the Champions League upon making his competitive debut in March 2019. He is also the club’s youngest goalscorer in a European competition.

2019-20 proved to be a breakthrough season for the youngster, having scored 19 goals and registered five assists across 51 appearances in all competitions for United last term.

The 19-year-old remains a key member of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad, making 29 appearances in total this season. He hasn’t been finding the net with much regularity though, scoring just four times.

On committing to a new four-year contract at Man Utd, Greenwood told the official club website: “When you join the club at seven years old, you just dream of playing for the first-team one day.

“I’ve worked so hard to reach this level and the last two years have been amazing. There is so much that I want to achieve in the game and I know that this is the perfect environment to play my football.

“With the support from the manager, his coaching staff and so many great players to learn from; I know that I am developing every single day. There is a lot more to come from myself and this team and I am so committed to working hard week in, week out to help the group achieve success.

“I want to repay the club for the support that everyone has given me over the years and show everyone just what I am capable of.”
