Manchester United defender Phil Jones is reportedly on the verge of finalising a new long-term deal at the club worth £150,000 a week.
The England international, who has featured eight times for the Red Devils already this term, still has 20 months to run on his existing contract.
United boss Jose Mourinho is keen to tie the centre-back down beyond the summer of 2019, according to The Mirror, and will make him one of the highest-paid defenders in the division.
Chelsea's David Luiz and long-serving Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany are understood to be among the top earners, with Jones expected to join them when officially agreeing terms.
United boast the best defensive record in the Premier League, conceding just two goals in their eight games so far.
