Manchester United plan to offer new terms to Jesse Lingard.
The Daily Star says United are set to extend Lingard's contract by another year - despite his continuing first-team absence.
The forgotten England forward has entered the final 12 months on his existing Old Trafford deal - and could be available as a free transfer next summer.
However, United have the option to extend his stay for an additional season - and appear ready to do that to ensure they receive a fee for Lingard, 27.
The United playmaker has featured only twice this term - in the EFL Cup - and is way down the pecking order of boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when it comes to the Premier League and Champions League.
