The future is pivotal for Manchester United if the club is to succeed, both in Premier League games and alternative competitions.
Contract extensions fall at the heart of preparing for the future, helping to ensure that players are committed to the club in the long-term, not just in the short-term.
Bruno Fernandes has recently fallen at the centre of transfer speculation with reports previously suggesting that the Portuguese international and Manchester United captain had hit a deadlock with the club over a contract extension.
More recent reports have clarified Fernandes’ position, stating that the attacking midfielder is set to announce that he will be staying at the club ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Speculation regarding the Portuguese international’s future serves as a continuous reminder of the uncertainty that can come with the long-term future in football.
One attacking midfielder now appears committed to Manchester United for the long-term with journalist Steven Railston reporting on the latest developments for Manchester Evening News.
Revealing the latest, Railston has stated that Manchester United have extended the contract of 21-year-old Ethan Ennis ahead of the new season.
Ennis was on loan at League Two side Fleetwood Town during the previous campaign where he impressed, scoring six goals and providing eight assists.
The 21-year-old has previously spent time with Doncaster Rovers on loan, too, providing him with invaluable professional experience.
Although Ennis’ contract has been extended, a setback has emerged with it appearing that he has picked up a minor injury during training.
The injury, which kept him out of contention for last weekend’s fixture against Wrexham, will mean that Ethan Ennis will miss the next couple of weeks.
Ennis’ short-term focus may therefore focus on recovery although, in the long-term, he can be assured that he will remain a Manchester United player.
