Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United have been hard at work this January. Instead of going out and shopping for new talent, the team has taken a different approach and is looking to sort out their contract situation at the moment.
The team has already triggered the option to extend two of their players, Victor Lindelof and Hannibal Mejbri. Another player that has been extended till 2025 is 26-year-old Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Moreover, the team has opted against extending the contract of star defender Raphael Varane. However, it has been reported that they intend to work out a new deal with the Frenchman.
