United are the Republic of Ireland international's only professional club, aside form brief loan spells at Bournemouth and Royal Antwerp, and the utility man moved a step closer to ending his career at Old Trafford.

United manager Alex Ferguson said: "John has developed in his years here and is now regarded as one of the more experienced players.

"He has proved through his personality and professionalism he is an outstanding credit to the club and I am delighted he has signed a new contract."

O'Shea has made over 200 appearances for the Premier League champions in central midfield as well as all across the defence, and has scored 13 times for the club.
