Manchester United will wait until the summer before offering new deals to most of the players who will be out of contract in 2016, sources have told ESPN FC.

Robin van Persie leads a list of players who have entered the last 18 months of their current deals at Old Trafford, including Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling, Rafael da Silva and Ashley Young.

David De Gea's agent Jorge Mendes recently confirmed that he is in negotiations with United about an extended contract for the goalkeeper, who will be available on a free transfer next year if none is agreed.
