Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that he will do his all to persuade David de Gea and Anthony Martial to sign new long-term deals.
The Red Devils automatically extended the contracts of both players through to the end of next season after failing to agree fresh terms.
Following months of drawn-out discussions, neither De Gea nor Martial could be persuaded to stay on beyond the end of 2020, potentially forcing United to cash in next summer unless there is a change of mind.
Solskjaer is determined to talk the talented duo into committing their futures to the Old Trafford club, however, telling reporters: "I know the club want them to sign because they are top quality players.
"It's down to the players but when you're at Man United there isn't a lot of greener grass on the other side. You are at the best place. It's the biggest club in the world.
"For me, I would hope I can help or guide these players to maybe tip them over to thinking they want to stay at this club. If you are a regular at Manchester United, I think you should grasp the opportunity to stay here and become part of the history."
Everton's Jordan Pickford is believed to have been lined up as a replacement should De Gea be sold at the end of the season.
