James Garner signs new long-term Manchester United contract
The 18-year-old midfielder has been regularly involved with the first team under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Highly-rated midfielder James Garner has signed a long-term contract keeping him at Manchester United until at least 2022.
Fresh from turning 18 on Wednesday, the midfielder has put pen to paper on a new deal that includes the option to extend it by a further year.
Garner made his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace last month and has been involved with the first-team squad regularly under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
With the club since the age of eight, the England youth international was recently likened to captain-turned-coach Michael Carrick.
“I believe he’s got the chance to have a great future,” United caretaker boss Solskjaer said last month.
“I know he’s young and I know it’s not fair on kids to compare to great players like Michael was, but he’s the same mould, he plays simple passes, plays through the lines.”
