Tyler Blackett has signed a new Manchester United deal until 2017, with the option of a further year.
The highly-rated youngster is the last of three priorities from the club's academy to sign a contract extension after Jesse Lingard and Patrick McNair.
United have reached an agreement with the Manchester-born 20-year-old which will see his weekly wage rocket from £2,000 to £20,000.
'I'm thrilled to have signed my new contract. I have supported United all my life and have been here since I was eight years old,' Blackett told the club's official website on Thursday.
'To come through the Academy and make my debut this season was a dream come true.
'I want to keep improving within the first-team squad with the help of the manager, coaches and the players around me.'
United boss Louis van Gaal added: 'I am delighted that Tyler has signed a new contract. He is another young player that has risen through the Academy system to break into the first-team squad this season.
'Tyler has great potential and I believe he is at the right club to continue his development and progression to become a great defender.'
