I’m looking forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on working hard to improve and help my teammates to be successful."

"I am absolutely delighted David has signed a new contract. He is one of the best goalkeepers in world football. I am very pleased that he will be part of the team for many years to come," said van Gaal.

"David made a very important contribution to our performance last season and he has been the club’s Player of the Year for the last two seasons.

"He is a popular player who is keen to learn and enhance his game. At such a young age for a goalkeeper, he has many years ahead of him."
