Erik ten Hag is in line for a new contract at Manchester United this year.

The Mirror says Ten Hag has had such a profound impact in his first year at Old Trafford that plans are already being drawn up to offer an extension on the three-year deal he signed last summer. The Glazer family who have owned United since May 2005 are currently involved in negotiations to sell-up for £6billion.

Britain's richest man Jim Ratcliffe and representatives working for Qatar 's Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani ratcheted up their interest in taking over by visiting Manchester for talks during the week. But the Glazers have made it clear that it is business as usual while the process is ongoing.

United have indicated to Ten Hag that they want to reward him for the progress he has made during his short time at the club. And the feedback from Ratcliffe's Ineos Group and Sheikh Jassim's Nine Two Foundation is that both bidders believe Ten Hag is the right manager to bring back the glory days.
