MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE confirmed that Scott McTominay has signed a new deal to keep him at the club until 2023, at least.
The 22-year-old defender/midfielder committed his future to his boyhood club today, putting pen to paper and inking a fresh contract which will see him stay at Old Trafford until June 2023, with the option to extend for a further year.
The Scotland international has made just eight appearances in all competitions this season and had been linked with a loan move to Celtic in the January transfer window.
Born in Lancaster, McTominay has been associated with the Manchester United academy from the age of five after attending the club’s development centre in Preston.
From there, he powered through the underage ranks and signed his first professional contact in July 2012. He made his senior debut in May 2017 under Jose Mourinho.
He’s featured 33 times in all competitions for United since then.
✍️ We are delighted to announce Scott McTominay has extended his contract with #MUFC until June 2023, with the option to sign for a further year.
