Manchester United Football Club has announced that Academy graduate Scott McTominay has signed a new deal to keep him at the club until June 2021.

After making his Premier League debut at the end of last season against Arsenal, the United youngster made his UEFA Champions League debut on Tuesday away at Benfica.

Scott McTominay said "I have grown up at this great club and it has always been a big part of my life. I attended the club's development centre in Preston from the age of five and have gone on to progress from there.  

"To make my debut at the end of last season was a dream come true, and I would like to thank the manager for the faith that he has shown in me. I was absolutely delighted when the manager promoted me to the first-team squad and I am looking forward to continuing my journey with this fantastic team."

In response to the new deal for the youngster, Jose Mourinho expressed his delight with the deal and reaffirmed the club's commitment to the youngster's progress.

"I am delighted Scott has signed a new contract, he is one of our young players that has gone from strength to strength. He made his Premier League debut at the end of last season and made his Champions League debut this season. I had no hesitation in promoting Scott to the first-team squad last month as we have total belief in him." Mourinho said.
