Louis van Gaal has aired his delight at seeing Ashley Young commit his future to Manchester United.
The versatile 30-year-old penned a new three-year deal at Old Trafford on Friday morning.
Young was used in both a wing-back and wide midfield position last season, producing a number of impressive displays to see his form rewarded with a new contract.
Speaking to United's official website, Van Gaal said: "We are delighted that Ashley has signed a new contract. Ashley is a very multi-functional player.
"He took to the wing-back position with great confidence and flourished on the wing throughout last season. Ashley is always very professional and has a great presence in the dressing room."
Young joined the Red Devils from Aston Villa in 2011, and has since gone on to make 115 appearances.
