Manchester United have confirmed that young D'Mani Mellor has signed his first professional contract with the club.
He joins the likes of Dion McGhee and Joe Riley who have already agreed a contract with the club.
A statement on the club's official website reads: "Manchester United youngster D'Mani Mellor has signed professional forms with the club.
"The homegrown product was part of the successful Under-18s squad last season and is eligible for another campaign at that level.
"An energetic forward who presses from the front, he can play in a number of attacking positions and also competed in the UEFA Youth League for Nicky Butt's side.
"Mellor, who scored in the home draw with arch-rivals Liverpool back in December at The Cliff, ended up with five goals in 20 outings (13 as a substitute) for Kieran McKenna's Premier League North winners.
"The 17-year-old Mancunian came off the bench in the national final against Chelsea in the last game of the youth campaign and is expected to have an even bigger part to play in 2018/19.
"United have completed a number of deals for our Academy prospects of late as the plans continue to take shape for next season."
