Manchester United are in preliminary talks to give Shola Shoretire a new contract.

The 19-year-old has flattered to deceive over the past two years, since making his first team debut at the age of 17.

However, the Manchester Evening News states that United have a firm belief in Shoretire.

They believe that he is a good investment and one who can become a star in the future.

He may be set for a renewal that would coincide with him going out on loan in January.

A permanent exit in the summer is not ruled out, but for the moment, United see him as a future player.
