Some Manchester United supporters have suggested that Erik ten Hag needs more help with focusing on new arrivals next summer, rather than getting caught up in contract renewals.
The Manchester Evening News understands that the Reds are confident of securing new deals for Marcus Rashford, David de Gea and Diogo Dalot. The club triggered one-year extensions on both Rashford and Dalot in December ahead of fresh negotiations.
De Gea’s current deal expires in June but United are working on a new deal that will see his terms reduced. The goalkeeper is the longest-serving current member of the squad, being set to enter his 13th season at the club next term.

There are expected to be more outgoings than arrivals at Old Trafford this summer as Ten Hag trims his squad. The pursuit of a centre-forward has seen Harry Kane earmarked as their top target.
United are also after a young midfielder and perhaps another defender depending on exits. The likes of Harry Maguire and Alex Telles are set to be put on the for-sale list while the club are open to the departure of injury-stricken Anthony Martial.
Meanwhile, Luke Shaw and Alejandro Garnacho have signed new contracts since the turn of the new year and United are hoping that the same will soon be said of De Gea, Dalot and Rashford, whose negotiations will likely take longer than those with his two teammates.
A handful of United fans are eager to see all three sign on the dotted line as soon as possible. Meanwhile, others say more attention should be directed towards incomings with some suggesting who should in turn be shown the door.
