Manchester United youngster Paddy McNair has penned a new deal at Old
Trafford until 2017 with an option of further year.
The 19-year old has made 12
appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils this season and it seems he
has caught the eye of manager Louis van Gaal.
The Dutchman has backed the Northern
Ireland Under-21 international for a long term role at United.
Van Gaal told MUTV:
"It is not only Paddy McNair who has impressed with his development, as I
have given a lot of chances to younger players.
"But Paddy McNair has developed
himself very well, not only as a central defender but now we are giving him the
chance to develop as a full-back and he did it very well.
"He has done it already in the
second team [Under-21s] and has done it now at a higher level in the
first-team. Maybe he shall be the right full-back of Manchester United for the
next 10 years, you never know. He has the chance."
