Ashley Young has signed a three-year extension to his contract with Manchester United.
The new deal keeps him at Old Trafford until at least June 2018 with an option to extend for a further year.
Young said: "I am delighted to have signed a new contract. The spirit and motivation in this team is very high and we are all determined to make this a season to remember. All I have ever wanted to do is play football and to be able to continue to do that at the biggest club in the world means everything to me and my family."
United boss Louis van Gaal said: "We are delighted that Ashley has signed a new contract. Ashley is a very multi-functional player. He took to the wing-back position with great confidence and flourished on the wing throughout last season. Ashley is always very professional and has a great presence in the dressing room."
The 30-year-old made his debut for United in August 2011 having spent four years with Aston Villa. He has since made 115 appearances and scored 13 goals, claiming a Premier League title winning medal in 2013.
