The 30-year-old, who had been attracting interest from Tottenham, has now been rewarded for his fine form, with his new contract tying him down to United until 2018. 

 

"I am delighted to have signed a new contract. The spirit and motivation amongst this team is very high and we are all determined to make this a season to remember.
