Manchester United duo extend contracts

 

Manchester United have triggered 12-month contract extensions for Daley Blind and Ashley Young, reports Sky Sports.

 

Blind and Young’s previous deals were due to expire at the end of the current campaign but United have moved to retain their services for another year.

 

Young is still hopeful of securing fresh terms after establishing himself as a key player for Jose Mourinho this season.

 

While United have extended Blind’s contract until the summer of 2019, there is still a strong possibility he will be sold at the end of the season.

The Netherlands international has never been a favoured player under Mourinho and has only made five Premier League appearances this season.

 

Blind, 27, has not featured in any of United’s last nine matches and is currently recovering from an ankle injury.

 

Young has played a direct hand in five goals in 21 Premier League appearances this season, the 32-year-old’s best return since the 2014/15 campaign.
