Ruben Curley has signed a new deal to commit his future to Manchester United, according to the Daily Mail.
The 19-year-old midfielder has been involved in first-team training since Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim arrived last month and could soon be making his debut.
Curley was named Scholar of the Year last season following an incredible campaign with the Man United youth ranks, and he has now been rewarded with a new deal, taking to social media platform Instagram to confirm so.
Man United under-18s won the Premier League North under-18s title, the Premier League under-18s national title and the Premier League Cup last term, and the teenage sensation played a key role in the treble-winning campaign.
While Curley has had limited chances in recent weeks, he is widely seen as an exemplary role model to peers in the academy set-up.
He played 14 games for the under-21s last term, bagging a goal, while he weighed in with three goals in 19
under-18s appearances.
Curley has played six times across the Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy this term, assisting once, and it will be interesting to see whether he can force his way into the plans of Amorim.
19-year-old Kobbie Mainoo has established himself as a key player for the first-team since last term, and Curley will be desperate to emulate his former academy teammate going forward.

Breaking into the first-team at Man United is not for everybody, but the Englishman proved that he is made of steel after bouncing back from an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury he sustained in 2023.
Curley spent around a year on the sidelines but emerged a better player afterwards to help the under-18s to the domestic treble last term, and such an attitude could get him into the senior team.
Amorim has a track record of giving youngsters the chance to prove themselves, and Curley will get an opportunity if he can show he is good enough in first-team training.
