Lingard, 24, is a product of the club’s Academy system and has been at the club since the age of seven. The Warrington-born player made his first-team debut at Old Trafford against Swansea City on the opening day of the 2014/2015 season. He has gone on to make 70 appearances and has scored 11 goals, three of which came at Wembley Stadium to help secure three trophies.
Jesse Lingard said: “Manchester United has always been a big part of my life. I have been with the club since the age of seven and I feel great pride every time I pull the shirt on. To have scored in two cup finals for my boyhood club were immensely proud moments for me and my family.
"As a team, we have already won a major trophy this season and I look forward to helping us win many more under this great manager. I would like to say a special thank you to the fans for the great support they have always given me and the team.”
Jose Mourinho said: "Jesse has been with the club since the age of seven. He has good intelligence which, when combined with his energy and ability, makes for a player with a great future ahead of him. Jesse is a popular member of the squad and I am delighted he has signed a new contract."
