James extends United contract

 Reece James has extended his contract with Manchester United.

The versatile left-back, who can also perform in midfield, scored twice against LA Galaxy on last summer's first-team tour and made his competitive debut in the Capital One Cup against Milton Keynes Dons.

After being on the bench for the opening three Barclays Premier League games of the season, he joined Rotherham United on loan in November to obtain more experience. Following his return to Old Trafford, he has been a mainstay in Warren Joyce's Under-21 side and helped the team earn a 1-1 draw with 10 men at Sunderland on Monday.

James has been rewarded for his progress with fresh terms, on the same day that colleague Tyler Blackett's new contract has also been confirmed.
