Will Fish signs new Manchester United contract

Will Fish has signed a new long-term contract at Manchester United a year after making his senior debut for the club.

Fish, 19, made his only senior United appearance on the final day of the season a year ago in the final moments of a 2-1 win away at Wolves.

The young centre-back was rewarded with a place in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side for pre-season before embarking on a loan move to then National League side Stockport County.

The Manchester-born defender, who has captained England up to U19 level, has agreed a new deal that will keep him at Old Trafford until at least June 2025, with the option of an additional year.

Fish is the second United youngster to sign a new deal this week, following on from the news that fellow teenager Zidane Iqbal has signed a new contract with the club.

The Under-21s have already arranged games against Kidderminster Harriers and Altrincham under new coaches Mark Dempsey and Paul McShane.

Alejandro Garnacho is also in discussions about an improved deal even though he is contracted to United until 2025. Garnacho scored seven goals in six games during United's triumphant FA Youth Cup campaign and debuted for the first-team back in April.

Fish was one of 18 academy members who trained under new manager Erik ten Hag at Carrington on Monday.
