Having had such an excellent start to his career we are excited to support him in reaching his immense potential here at Manchester United.
This club has a fantastic record of developing young players, whether homegrown or brought in from elsewhere, and giving them the required guidance, time and patience to grow and flourish.
Under Erik ten Hag and our excellent staff we will ensure that Leny has the perfect platform to achieve the success that everyone across the club is aiming for.

Leny Yoro stated it is an "incredible honour" to be joining Manchester United at the tender age of 18.
Signing for a club with the stature and ambition of Manchester United so early in my career is an incredible honour.
Since my first conversations with the club, they set out a clear plan for how I can develop in Manchester as part of this exciting project, and showed a lot of care for me and my family.
I know about the history of young players at Manchester United and feel it can be the perfect place to reach my potential and achieve my ambitions, together with my new teammates. I cannot wait to get started.
Brentford are ready to slash their asking price for Ivan Toney to less than £50million due to a lack of transfer interest.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all made it clear to the Bees that they have no plans to bid for Toney.
That leaves Tottenham and West Ham as the striker's most likely suitors.
Brentford had hoped to create an auction for the England international after he returned from an eight-month gambling ban in January and initially invited bids in excess of £80m.
But there were no offers for the 28-year-old during the winter transfer window and the club have been surprised at the lack interest this summer.
The Gunners are not prioritising signing a centre-forward this summer, the Blues think Toney is too old and United have splashed £36.5m for Joshua Zirkzee.

Leny Yoro is awaiting to finalise a deal with Manchester United after Lille accepted a £52million offer for the defender.
Fans may wonder how the France U23 star compares to the other Red Devil defenders Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.
Last season for the Ligue 1 side Yoro made 32 appearances for Lille and played a total of 2672 minutes.
This is almost double the amount of minutes Evans, Lindelof and also Varane played.
Yoro's closest competitor Maguire in game time does not even come close to the defender who during his 1650 minutes of play made 24 tackles, and 25 interceptions with an 83 per cent pass accuracy.
In perspective, the teen made 36 tackles, and 36 interceptions with a 92 per cent pass accuracy.
