Manchester United have activated the one-year extension in the contract of Timothy Fosu-Mensah.
The defender s deal had been due to expire at the
00004000
end of the 2019-20 season.
However, Stats Perform understands the option to extend the player s terms by a further 12 months was exercised back in January.
Fosu-Mensah has not played a senior competitive game for United since the 2-0 Premier League win over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford in May 2017, at the end of Jose Mourinho s first season in charge.
The 22-year-old has spent the past two seasons on loan at Palace and Fulham, but he has been sidelined since having surgery on a knee ligament injury last April.
Fosu-Mensah is the latest United player to see his contract extended beyond the end of this season.
The Red Devils triggered a two-year extension to Eric Bailly s deal in January and entered into talks with Nemanja Matic last month over new longer terms after activating an option for an additional year on the midfielder s contract.
Tahith Chong signed a new two-year deal in March, leaving Angel Gomes as the only member of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s first-team squad whose deal runs out at the end of this season without an option to extend.
Fosu-Mensah, who joined from Ajax in 2014, has made 21 appearances for United in all competitions.
