Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has reportedly been offered a new five-year contract by the club.

The 24-year-old has been in outstanding form in recent weeks, and is reportedly in negotiations with Old Trafford officials about a deal which would run until 2017, according to Goal.com.

The new deal, understood to be in the region of £65,000-a-week, would move him into the third tier of United earners as he builds a reputation as a consistent Premier League performer.

Evans scored his first goal for United in Sunday's 5-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
