Manchester United are increasingly confident of signing goalkeeper David de Gea to a new long-term contract, Sky Sports News understands.
United are understood to be offering the Spain international between £350,000 and £375,000-a-week - which would be a record deal for a goalkeeper.
Negotiations have been ongoing for over a season and De Gea has been linked with moves to Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Real Madrid, but United are optimistic he will stay at Old Trafford.
At his most recent press conference, manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer suggested it is a matter of "if and when" a new deal is agreed with the Spaniard.
"He will play tomorrow and hopefully we can agree with David," Solskjaer said.
"As I've said a few times I think that will be up to David De Gea and the club to announce if it happens - if and when."
The 28-year-old has been named the club's player of the year on a record four occasions during an outstanding spell at Old Trafford.
De Gea did not play in United's 2-0 win over Perth Glory on Saturday, but is due to return in a friendly against Leeds on Wednesday.
