Manchester United are progressing with talks over a new contract for Alejandro Garnacho.
Garnacho, 18, is contracted to United until 2025, despite summer reports his deal would expire next year amid speculation of interest from Juventus.
Sources say United are comfortable with Garnacho's situation due to the length of his existing deal and incremental increases.

The winger made his full debut in the 3-0 Europa League win against FC Sheriff, having debuted as a 17-year-old against Chelsea under Ralf Rangnick in April.
Garnacho has had a stratospheric year, receiving a call-up to the Argentina squad, plundering seven goals in six games during United's triumphant FA Youth Cup campaign and travelling with the first-team on their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
United manager Erik ten Hag did not afford Garnacho any playing time on tour and his only appearance during pre-season was in the final friendly against Rayo Vallecano. Ten Hag revealed Garnacho earned a start against Sheriff after displaying a "better attitude" in recent weeks.
"I think it was a good performance from him," Ten Hag said. "He did what I expected him to do. First, he deserved a chance for the last weeks.
"The start was difficult for him in the season. I was not happy with him, but in the last weeks I was happy with him, a better attitude, more resilience, more determination.
"And what you see is he has the talent to deal with the ball in tight areas, to run behind and especially also his tempo dribbles, he can take players on and that's a good capability now in his football, especially against opponents who are defending as compact as this opponent.
"I am happy with that, I hope for him it's a stimulant and he knows I have to do better to get into the team, to create more and don't forget you are playing in a team.
"Young kids have to grow and to raise their personality. They have to know what the laws and demands are in football, top football, it's not only about the trick or about scoring one goal.
"We have to win football games, that demands a lot and then you have to fulfil every day the high standards, that is what we have to teach, not only him but we have to teach all the players, but especially the young players."
