The 25-year-old and Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot, and Fred all reached an agreement on a new contract after their present deals expired at the end of the current campaign. The England attacker, who graduated from United’s academy, was a member of the team that advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals this month.
“We want to help those athletes grow, support them, and remain a part of our process. These guys must be a part of the team if we are to build it for longer years in the future “Erik Ten Hag, the United coach, stated.
Portugese right back Dalot, a 25-year-old English left-back, joined the 20-time league champions in 2018.
Brazilian midfielder Fred, who turns 30 in March, moved from Shakhtar Donetsk four seasons ago, while Shaw arrived four years previously.
Following the World Cup break, Ten Hag’s fifth-placed team hosts Nottingham Forest on Tuesday to resume Premier League play.
