Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Guillermo Varela are set to be handed new deals
United will offer both young defenders extended deals with significant pay rises, website Football Insider claims.
A United source revealed Louis van Gaal has pushed for the new agreements after being impressed by the pair's first-team performances.
Meanwhile, Varela, who was prevented from joining Genoa on loan last month, is also in talks to renew his deal that ends in 2018.
