Manchester United defender Paddy McNair has signed a new contract with the club that will see him remain at Old Trafford until 2017.
The 19-year-old Northern Irishman was rewarded with the new deal after all the hard work he put in to get into Louis van Gaal’s senior squad making 12 appearances for United in his breakthrough season.
United announced the new deal on the clubs website with van Gaal saying: “Paddy has risen through the ranks to become an integral part of the first-team squad. He has all the attributes to develop into a top player.
“Promoting youth players is very important both to myself and to the club and I am delighted Paddy has signed a new contract.”
