The Manchester United academy product broke into Louis van Gaal's first team last season and has made 29 appearances under Jose Mourinho this term.

His performances have led to four England appearances and his club to negotiate a new deal, with the 24-year-old's contract expiring at the end of next season.

Lingard has now signed an agreement keeping him at Old Trafford until June 2021, with the option to extend for a further year.

"Manchester United has always been a big part of my life," said Lingard, whose deal is said to be worth £100,000 a week.

"I have been with the club since the age of seven and I feel great pride every time I pull the shirt on.

"To have scored in two cup finals for my boyhood club were immensely proud moments for me and my family.

Lingard ended last season by netting the winner in the FA Cup final and this term scored at Wembley in United's Community Shield and EFL Cup triumphs.
