Tom Cleverley has agreed a new £40,000-a-week deal with Manchester United until 2015.
Sir Alex Ferguson was keen to reward Cleverley for his rapid progress this season and is delighted the midfielder has signed.
"Tom is one of the brightest prospects in the English game," said the United manager.
"For a young boy, he has a good footballing brain which, when coupled with his energy and ability, makes for a player with a fine future ahead of him.
"It's the United way to encourage our young players to make their mark in the first team and Tom has grabbed that chance with both hands."
Cleverley, 22, said: "It's been a fantastic start to the season for me, breaking into the first team and getting an England call-up.
"Having grown up at the club, I'd love to be able to make a contribution to United winning more trophies. We have a squad with great ability and I can't wait to get started again."
