Man Utd leave Ibra & Fellaini cold as Young, Blind handed extensions

Manchester United have extended the contracts of Ashley Young and Daley Blind, according to Manchester Evening News.

However, the futures of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marouane Fellaini remain unresolved.

Both players are out of contract at the end of the season and look likely to leave the club. Michael Carrick is also out of contract, but he is expected to retire.

Young, Blind and Aston Villa loanee Sam Johnstone, are now signed up until the end of next season.

32-year-old Young has established himself as Jose Mourinho's first-choice left-back this season, ahead of once prodigious young talent Luke Shaw.

Blind and Johnstone have been signed for different reasons. Both players are still likely to leave this season, but United will now be able to cash in.

Dutchman Blind has played just four minutes in the Premier League this season, while Villa are keen to sign Johnstone on a permanent deal.
