Two stars, two different motivations: Man United poised to make key contract decisions - report

Six Manchester United players have less than 12 months left in their contract.

Tom Heaton, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, Christian Eriksen, Harry Maguire and Amad Diallo are on that list.

According to Rich Fay, Man United are expected to activate the one-year extension options for both Maguire and Diallo.

The same clause is not present in the contracts of the other four players.

United are already in discussions with Diallo for a new long-term contract.

Erik ten Hag has shown faith in the 22-year-old by making him the first-choice right-winger this season.

The youngster has displayed glimpses of his incredible talent but has failed to stamp his authority.

He has bagged only one goal and one assist in ten appearances across all competitions.

Triggering the one-year extension in his contract is essential if the two sides cannot agree on a long-term deal in time.

Maguire's contract extension could be a strategic move to safeguard his resale value.

United should extend his deal by a year and recoup some funds by offloading him next summer.

It was reported earlier that the Red Devils aim to sell him for £10 million. However, they might choose this strategic path next July.

Maguire has been a decent back-up option for the last 12 months. He has stepped up for the side during a crisis.

United signed him for £80m from Leicester City in 2019. Given his age and contract situation, they may only recover about one-tenth of that transfer fee in 2025.
