Lingard, 23, is currently tied to a deal until 2018.
But the Sunday People claim United are pushing for fresh terms in order to avoid the prospect of losing him on a free transfer.
According to the report, Lingard’s lawyers are working on the deal and should have everything settled soon.
"It was not just about them [Mkhitaryan and Lingard]. Other players were also not playing really well and obviously, as well as my decision, I don't like to go in the direction of singling out players.
“Let's say our team didn't play well in the first-half and their responsibilities are my responsibilities.”
