CBJ, who made 14 appearances in the Man United starting XI this season, took home the U21 Player of the Year Award. Here are the two statements released by the club.
Executive vice chairman Ed Woodward said:
“Cameron is one of a number of young players to come through our academy to make their first team debut last season. This is something that our club has always done and promoting the academy and U21 players is something that makes everybody associated with the club very proud. I’m delighted that Cameron has signed his new contract and look forward to seeing him in the squad for many years to come.”
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson said:
“I have grown up at United and have enjoyed every minute of being here. Last season was an incredible experience to make my first team debut and a dream come true for myself and my family. I feel it stands me in good stead for continuing my development as a Manchester United player. I will continue to work hard and take advice from the manager and his coaching team to improve with every training session.”
