Manchester United youngster Jaydan Kamason has signed a new contract until the summer of 2028, with the option of a further year. Kamason has been involved in first-team training at Carrington and travelled on the post-season tour of Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong last year.
Last season, the full-back was part of a talented Under-18 team and he was named on the first-team bench for both home and away legs of the Europa League quarter-final and semi-final.
Kamason has missed some time this term due to injury, but he has made 15 appearances for the Under-21s.
Writing on social media, Kamason said: "Proud moment for me and family to sign a new long-term contract at this special club. We thank God and keep pushing. More to come, just a matter of timing."
United recruited Kamason from grassroots team Stockport Vikings to the Emerging Talent Programme (ETP) when he was 10. He became the first player from that programme to sign a professional contract with the club.
Adam Lawrence was asked about Kamason after his goal against Arsenal in the FA Youth Cup last season. He said: "Jaydan has been in real good form of late, so he's in that position where he's put in some real strong and consistent performances, as you'd expect from a second year U18 player here.
"He's in a real good space. He's such a fantastic kid, he's got real good athleticism and he likes to get forward on the outside. And listen, he'll be watching that goal back for a while.
"He's always been a full-back that has liked to get forward and he can wear people down, he's wiry, he's very athletic and can get on top of people and really impact the game in the final third.
"We're really excited about him and think that he has real big potential, but he's a humble kid and he'll know he needs to get better and that he's got things to work on."
