Manchester United will reportedly offer Paul Pogba a new and improved contract in a bid to persuade the midfielder to remain at Old Trafford.
Pogba appeared set to leave United this summer after revealing he wanted a new challenge in July, resulting in interest from Real Madrid.
However, Madrid didn't make a bid for the Frenchman and with the transfer window now shut United are keen to tie the 26-year-old down to a new deal.

Pogba will enter the final year of his contract at the end of the season – but United retain the option of a further 12 months.
However, the Evening Standard claim the Red Devils are unwilling to risk letting their record signing move within a year of becoming a free agent and will try and tempt him with a significant pay rise.
United could face a battle to convince the player to stay, however, with Pogba's agent Mino Raiola and brother Mathias continuing to cast doubts over his future.
On Tuesday, Pogba's brother said it is common knowledge that Zinedine Zidane is a huge admirer of the Manchester United midfielder.
