Manchester United duo David de Gea and Anthony Martial have been urged by interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to sign new contracts with the club.

Both are hugely important players for the Red Devils, but both have seen their long-term Old Trafford futures plunged into doubt of late.

Things haven’t been helped by United making a poor start to the season and looking an unhappy squad under Jose Mourinho until his recent departure.

This now gives MUFC some increased confidence of tying De Gea in particular down to a new deal, while it’s also noted that Martial had his issues with the Portuguese, according to the Daily Mail.

Solskjaer, meanwhile, has been quoted in the piece as urging the players to sign, speaking about his own time as a United player when he had options to leave after not playing that often.

The Norwegian, however, insists they are at the best club in the world and shouldn’t think the grass is any greener somewhere else – words that will please United supporters.
