Manchester United have opened talks with Ander Herrera about a new contract.

Midfielder Herrera has become a key player under Jose Mourinho, with United willing to reward his new-found importance with an improved deal.

Herrera has attracted interest from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, with United keen to tie him down to a new deal to ward off potential suitors.

Spain international Herrera joined United from Athletic Bilbao for £30million in 2014, penning a four-year-deal - with an option for a further 12 months - worth £100,000-a-week.

But United are ready to hand the 27-year-old a new agreement this summer worth around £150,000-a-week, that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2021.

Herrera, voted United's Player of the Year last season, has been liberated under Mourinho, having regressed under former boss Louis van Gaal.
