Manchester United are reportedly in discussions over a fresh contract with Ashley Young following a string of top-notch performances on the left side of the defence.
The England international was largely a squad player during Jose Mourinho's first season in charge, but he has now established himself as a regular owing to his consistent showing in the first XI.
According to The Mail, United are prepared to activate the one-year extension in Young's contract which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2019.
However, the player's representatives are looking for a two-year contract with the versatile ace having stood out with his performances in recent league games.
Young contributed significantly to United's only goal against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, while he popped up with a match-winning brace in the 4-3 thumping of Watford in midweek.
Manchester United have a policy of offering one-year rolling contracts to play aged above 30, and this could hinder Young's chances of earning an extended deal.
