Manchester United are set to trigger the extension clause in Jesse Lingard‘s contract to keep him at the club until the summer of 2022.
The 28-year-old has fallen out-of-favour under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and he has yet to play a single minute of league football this term.
His current deal expires at the end of the campaign, but United are set to trigger the 12-month option to extend his stay until June 2022, a report from The Mail claims.
Celtic, Rangers and Sheffield United have all been credited with an interest in Lingard and United are reluctant to allow their graduate leave for a bargain fee at the turn of the year.
Lingard, who has made more than 200 appearances for United, was valued at around £25m last summer, but his valuation will have dropped with his lack of playing time.
Still, United are reportedly looking for an eight-figure sum to part ways with the England international. Aside from Lingard, Sergio Romero and Phil Jones could be on the move next month.
