Manchester United star Jesse Lingard is set for a contract extension that will see his wages increase significantly.

Lingard's current contract runs until the summer of 2021 but United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eager to ensure that the 26-year-old remains at Old Trafford for the long term.

As reported by The Sun, Lingard's new deal is set to see his wages rise by a quarter to £130,000-a-week.

The academy product has made 167 appearances for United, during which time he has scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists.

Solskjaer wants Lingard to become a hugely important figure for United going into next season.

Lingard has won the FA Cup, the Europa League and the League Cup with United and will be determined to help his side improve next campaign as they go in search of silverware.

Last season Lingard mustered just four goals in the Premier League and will be looking to be more prolific.
