Fred, Diogo Dalot 'set for new Manchester United contracts'

Manchester United are reportedly preparing to offer both Fred and Diogo Dalot new deals at Old Trafford.

Fred came off the bench to score in his side's 4-2 win over Leeds United in the Premier League on Sunday, and the Brazil international has been an important player for the club this term, making 26 appearances in all competitions.

The 28-year-old's current deal is due to expire in June 2023, but according to ESPN, the central midfielder is set to be offered a new deal by the 20-time English champions.

Dalot, meanwhile, has become Man United's first-choice right-back under interim head coach Ralf Rangnick, with the 22-year-old making 20 appearances this term, including 15 outings in the Premier League.

Like Fred, the Portugal international's current deal will expire in June 2023, but the 20-time English champions are said to be preparing to offer him the chance to sign a fresh long-term contract.

Dalot dropped down to the bench for Sunday's clash with Leeds but is pushing for a recall against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
