​Man Utd want to extend Tuanzebe contract before potential loan

Manchester United are willing to let centre-back Axel Tuanzebe leave on loan this summer - if he signs a new contract.

The 23-year-old defender is the subject of interest from Newcastle United and other clubs in Europe.

Given the imminent arrival of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid, Tuanzebe wants a move to secure regular football.

Sky Sports is indicating that United are willing to sanction a season long loan, provided they can get Tuanzebe to sign an extension.

His current deal expires after this season, but United do have a one year extension they can apply to the contract.
