EIGHT Manchester United players are entering the final year of their contracts including Cristiano Ronaldo.
There is an option of a years extension to Ronaldo's deal and talks are already ongoing regarding him staying beyond two seasons at Old Trafford.
The power over the 37-year-old's future lies in his own hands according to Manchester Evening News.
Ronaldo netted 24 goals in his first season back at United.
The remaining seven entering the final year of their deals include a number of important first-team players.
Marcus Rashford is one of them. He is expected to play a key part in Erik ten Hag's re-build despite poor recent form. Tottenham were interested in him but the England international snubbed the move according to reports.
Fred's contract is also up next summer. The Brazilian is a key man making 36 appearances last season.
Man Utd have the option to trigger an additional year in David De Gea's deal when it expires at the end of next season.
The long-term future of the club's No.1 could depend on Ten Hag.
In a similar situation is Luke Shaw. There is an option to commit to the Red Devils for a further seasons but after struggling with injury last campaign he started just 50 per cent of league games.
Diogo Dalot, 23, is set to compete with Aaron Wan-Biassaka for the right-back spot and could be set for a new deal, according to reports.
Phil Jones has been at United since 2011 and it seems like his stay will be coming to an end after suffering with severe injuries in recent season.
If Dean Henderson leaves Man Utd this summer, with Newcastle interested, Tom Heaton could be set for more minutes but his also contract expires next summer.
The club allowed Lee Grant, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Edinson Cavani all leave in a mass exodus this month and more could follow in a years time.
