Irish defender John O’Shea has signed a three-year extension to his contract with Manchester United.

The 26-year-old Waterford man has now committed himself to the club until 2012.

O’Shea has already played more than 250 games for United having joined the club at the age of 17.

After handing extended deals to Ryan Giggs, Nemanja Vidic and now John O’Shea, Manchester United are now looking to tie full-back Patrice Evra with a new long-term contract.

The 26-year-old France international, who had joined the Red Devils from Monaco in 2006, has established himself as the first-choice left-back in Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, and his all-action style has made him a fans’ favourite at Old Trafford.

Ferguson said that Evra is in line to get an extension. “Patrice will be the next one [we look at],” the Scot said.
