Ashley Young wants a new two-year deal at Manchester United to extend his stay at the club to a decade.

England World Cup star Young, 33, has been a key part of Jose Mourinho’s side this term.

He has made six appearances and even been given the armband - including against Juventus in the Champions League this week.

But the star is out of contract next summer after United only triggered a one-year extension to keep him in March.

Young, on around £130,000-a-week, wants to extend his United stay further beyond this term and will ask for two more seasons.

The stalwart, signed from Aston Villa in 2011, has made 210 appearances for the club and can play in a variety of positions including full-back ,wing-back or in midfield.

He has won 39 England caps but has not been selected since the World cup as boss Gareth Southgate prioritises younger players.

Young has got the United armband in the wake of injury to Antonio Valencia and Mourinho’s issues with Paul Pogba.

Mourinho has also said David de Gea and Chris Smalling are other players who may be captains this term.

Young insisted after United's defeat to Juventus on Tuesday night that there were plenty of positives to take forward.

Paulo Dybala scored the only goal of the game at Old Trafford.

"It's disappointing, obviously, losing a goal in the way we did. I think we had a spell in the first half where we got on top and, especially in the second half, we were on the front foot.

"It's another one of those days where the ball just wouldn't go in.

"But I felt with the way we played, especially in the second half, if we had got a goal out of it, got a draw of it, it would maybe have (been) justified the way we started the second half."
