Manchester United are no nearer to convincing David de Gea to stay at Old Trafford.

United are in talks with Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Ashley Young over extensions to their contracts, which expire next summer, and are confident of agreeing new deals for the trio.

But De Gea is reluctant to commit to another contract while United are struggling so badly on the pitch and the Spain goalkeeper could leave on a free transfer at the end of next season, unless the club are forced to cash in before then should they fail to achieve a breakthrough in negotiations.

De Gea is one of eight players whose contracts expire next summer but on whom United have options to extend for a further 12 months to June 2020. Defenders Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Matteo Darmian, midfielder Andreas Pereira and forwards Anthony Martial and James Wilson complete that list.

Martial has been offered a new five-year deal and United are hopeful the France striker will sign it following a return to form and favour under manager Jose Mourinho, who was willing to offload the 22-year-old in the summer.
