Ander Herrera is keen to stay at Manchester United as discussions over a new contract continue to progress, Press Association Sport understands.

The 29-year-old left Athletic Bilbao for Old Trafford in 2014, with the midfielder signing a four-year deal with the option of a further season.

United invoked that clause last year and Herrera’s contract is due to expire at the end of the season.

When asked about his contract after the 1-0 win at Leicester on Sunday, Herrera said: “If I deserve it, I will get it.

“I was 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.”

Negotiations are also continuing with star man David De Gea, while it is understood the club have opened talks with Marcus Rashford over a new and improved deal.

Last week Anthony Martial signed a new contract until at least 2024, while Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay all agreed new deals earlier this season.
