Kieran O'Hara has signed a new contract with Manchester United that will run until 2020.
Although born locally, the goalkeeper represents Republic of Ireland at international level and has forced his way into their Under-21 squad.
"I’m at the right place to continue my development as a young player and I’m thrilled to have signed a new contract."
“Since I joined United, it has been everything I expected it to be,”
he said. “The club gives you all the guidance that you need from experienced coaches to improve every single day.
”But I know that the hard work has just started and that I need to continue to listen and give everything in training and the matches we have coming up.
“I know I’m at the right place to continue my development as a young player and I’m thrilled to have signed a new contract.”
Another young prospect committed his future to United earlier this month when it was announced that Angel Gomes had signed his first professional contract as a Red.
“This club is renowned for giving home grown players opportunities to progress into the first team and that was a major factor in me signing my first professional contract at this great club,”
the 17-year-old explained.
“I am still young but I am looking forward to continuing my development with the help of the coaching staff and I will take every opportunity that comes my way.”
