The 33-year-old England international, whose current deal was due to expire at the end of the campaign, has made 227 appearances for United in all competitions since his arrival from Aston Villa in 2011.

Young is one of United's longest-serving players and one of five players in the current squad to win a Premier League title during their time at the club.
