Young players can only ever sign on for 3 years for their first pro contract as far as I'm aware.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
But Gomes has contract till December 2020, not till June 2020 like all others. We may wait half a year more with him
Oh really? Who made up that silly rule?
It's not silly, look at how Chelsea have bullied some of their youngsters into signing even when they haven't been playing etc. They should have the chance to move before they're 21 if it isn't working out for them for whatever reason. Clubs are still due compensation for players who go on a free as long as they've offered them a contract on improved terms to the last one.
It's silly when it's not to our benefit
That rule is there a long time now.
Darmian should get a new contract. He is a better defender than Shaw and Young. Anyone really trust those two to play well over an entire season ?
- New contracts noted in blue.
Bailly signing for £30 million looked a steal 3 years ago but he’s become an incredibly poor player at times.
No point in renewing either. The extortionate wages we pay will never shift him.
In his first season he was quality so it’s just unlucky for both party’s.

@IrishRedDevil Fosu-Mensah's contract has option of a further year on
Don't know about contracts, but i will be expiring if we don't get our fingers out in terms of investing in our playing squad in this transfer window.
Dea gea still can sign with an other club in 5 months
Didn’t know that. I’ll edit.
Gomes and Henderson are important imo. DDG will sign I assume
We'll definitely use the extension option of TFM. He's basically out for this season and Solskjaer's not had a chance to work with him yet.
I know this was a while ago but you qouldn't extend angel gomes?
Missed that great news. I honestly would have made him no. 1 now in case DDG does not sign
Most Important/Highest Alert
1. Gomes
2. De Gea
3. TFM (+1 year option isn't worrying)
4. Bailly (for resale value mainly)
then uhh.. fullstop?
While still focusing on that first two, I think the club should also start negotiating about those expiring in 2021 mainly Pogba and Lindelof. Then again, most of 'em have +1 year option, so not too rush. Other than Gomes and De Gea, our contract situations isn't bad at all. If only we could stop pointless extending some of the players.. would be great.

Matic, young, mensah, bailly, darmian need to be let go.
OP updated with De Gea’s new contract.
Angel Gomes is now the only remaining concern
Matic, Young and Grant all likely to be released summer 2020.

Let Matic go, let Bailly go, let Young go.
When does Chongs contract expire?
Use option on Bailly and Mensah. They both need some time after their injuries to be evaluated. Give them time to summer then we can decide whether to extend their contract or cash in on them
Grant, Young and Matic should be allowed to leave. I would love to use the option in Matic and then try to get some money from a sale but I am not sure how many clubs would pay us especially given his high wage

Bailly's main quality is that he's always injured so he doesn't have to play much. If we can get someone stupid enough to buy him, then why not I guess.
Expect Young to get an extension, Matic shouldn't, but it wouldn't shock me.
The first post is very clear, thanks for updating.OP updated with De Gea’s new contract.

So yes, the only manjor concern there is now Gomes. We've done well to get most of the contracts sorted out for our key players before Christmas. Young will likely be offered a one year contract with an option for a second year. Grant's future depends on what the club decides to do with Henderson.
Looking a few years ahead, we will either renew Pogba's contract otherwise we will look to sell him on. If Zidane leaves and Mourinho goes to Madrid, that will be a big boost for United.
I am not yet too worried about the situation with Gomes as he seems to be very positive about his future here and committed to the club. I know we started talking to him late last season and these deals can take time. I would think the main reason for the slow progress relates to his status in the squad. Under Mourinho he was likely to remain in the academy and then maybe in a year or two have a loan spell or two etc. and so the terms would reflect that status. Now he has been promoted to the senior squad and promised game time so he would understandably want to wait and see how things go as he could well perform in such a way that we would be willing to offer a much better deal by January than we would at this point in time.

Manchester United have exercised the option to extend defender Eric Bailly’s contract by two years, committing him to the club until the end of the 2021/22 season.
But why though
June 2020
I'd like to say it would be because he'd have more resell value but I can't.
I think the Bailly extension is to protect our investment, if any decent offer come in summer, he will be gone. The same for Matic, perhaps a few millions. So I think we are reasonably safe on protection clause, but the real problem remains, where are the good players?
