Manchester United have reportedly drawn up a new contract for Jesse Lingard worth £100,000 per week.

The 25-year-old winger is enjoying a fruitful season at Old Trafford, having scored 13 goals and registered four assists in 38 appearances thus far.

According to the Daily Star, Lingard is believed to have "met targets" in his current deal that have led to United being prepared to offer improved terms.

England international Lingard joined the United setup at the age of seven and made his first-team debut under legendary Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2011.
