Manchester United 'want to hand four players new contracts'

Manchester United are reportedly keen to hand new contracts to Jesse Lingard, Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw in the near future.

Lingard and Pogba will both be out of contract at Old Trafford next June, and the former was strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford during the summer transfer window.

The England international remained with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side beyond the deadline, though, and has scored twice for his club this season, including the winner against West Ham United on Sunday.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Man United are in talks with both Lingard and Pogba over new deals, while the club are also speaking with the representatives of Fernandes and Shaw.

Fernandes still has four years left to run on his agreement, but the Red Devils want to hand the Portugal international a pay rise due to his form since arriving from Sporting Lisbon.

Shaw, meanwhile, will be out of contract in June 2023, and the 26-year-old appears to have finally overcome his injury problems to become a key player for club and country.

Man United have made a strong start to their 2021-22 Premier League season, picking up 13 points from their opening five matches to occupy third spot in the table, level on points with leaders Chelsea.
