Ander Herrera is set to confirm his future to Manchester United and sign a new deal, according to reports.
The Spanish midfielder, who is out of contract in the summer, has impressed interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the past six weeks with his attitude.
And, after it emerged Ashley Young will be signing a one-year extension at Old Trafford, Herrera now seems set to follow suit.
According to the Daily Mail, talks have been ongoing since last year. However, they are close to reaching a breakthrough which would keep the 29-year-old in Manchester.
Asked about his contract situation following Sunday’s win at Leicester, Herrera said: “If I deserve it, I will get it.
“I got the player of the year two years ago and, I cannot lie, I feel very good at the moment. I feel in form, I can run a lot and recover the ball and I feel good when I have it at my feet.”
Herrera signed from Athletic Bilbao in 2014 for a reported £29million fee and has made 181 appearances in all competitions – scoring 19 goals.
His fellow Spaniard Juan Mata does not have the same assurances about his future however.
According to the same report, it is unclear whether or not the 30-year-old will be offered a new deal at the end of the season, having started just four of Solskjaer’s 11 games in charge.
