The Manchester United prospect has agreed a new long-term contract with the Red Devils

Manchester United prospect Sam Mather has agreed a new contract with the club that will run until 2027, according to reports.

The 19-year-old academy talent is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Red Devils but is clearly highly thought of at the club.

The winger was involved in first-team training and was FA Youth Cup winner in 2022, starting every game of the trophy-lifting campaign.

Mather suffered a serious injury after that FA Youth Cup success, hampering his progress, but he returned to fitness and spent time on a flexible loan at Rochdale last season.

Manchester United have created flexible ‘bespoke’ loan deals which allow youngsters to gain first-team experience but still be regularly involved with the Red Devils.

On this short-term deal, Mather made 10 National League appearances for Rochdale, scoring two goals.

The teenager was also in action alongside some big names in the recent pre-season friendly win over Rangers, replacing Jadon Sancho at half-time in the 2-0 win.

Fabrizio Romano report that Mather has agreed a new contract with Manchester United that will run until 2027 with an option for a further year.

Manchester United will continue their pre-season training in America this week as they embark on their American tour.

Erik ten Hag’s side will play friendlies against Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool in the States.

The squad for the US tournament is due to be announced on Wednesday, with the players flying over the Atlantic on the same day.
