Speaking to United’s official website, Freeman said: “I’m really happy with the new deal. It’s a good place to be at the minute and I’m absolutely loving it here, especially with my recent playing time this season.
“When the opportunity to extend my contract came up there were no other thoughts in my head. I just wanted to get it signed and keep being at this club.”
United sporting director Tony Asghar added: “Kieran has shown great character and resilience so far in his career and since he came back to the club, his attitude and application has been first class.
“He has seized an opportunity for regular starts recently and has reinforced our belief in his attributes.
He fully deserves this extension and we expect to see Kieran continue to grow and develop under our guidance.”
