“I have been at United for a number of years now and since the first day here I have enjoyed every minute,” he told his club’s official website.

“Over the last season I feel I have made great progress as a goalkeeper and this will stand me in good stead for continuing my development as a Manchester United player.

“There have been many memorable moments for me at this club – however, making my debut for the first team at Old Trafford was unbelievable for me and my family.”

Manager Jose Mourinho added: “Joel progressed really well during the course of the last season through hard work and commitment every day in training.
