Manchester United will reportedly hand Ashley Young a new three-year contract to stay at Old Trafford after an impressive season for the winger.

Young, who turns 30 in July, has been one of United's best players this season and has easily had his best run of form since arriving from Aston Villa for around £18million in 2011.

The Daily Mail report that Young will sign a new deal at the end of the season, after impressing Dutch boss Louis van Gaal.

The winger is not likely to see a huge increase in money, according to the report, but wants to see out the remainder of his career at Old Trafford.

Young has four goals and four assists in all competitions this season, his best return for the club since his maiden season.
