Manchester United are prepared to offer winger Daniel James an improved deal in the summer.
The 22 year old joined United last summer from Swansea City for an initial fee of £15 million, and he has had an impressive first season for the club, making 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring 4 goals and providing six assists.
And now the club are prepared to reward him for his efforts with a new contract, which will see his weekly wage increase from £35,000 to £50,000 a week.
This is in line with the deal he negotiated when he signed, which promised contract uplifts if he managed to establish himself as a first team regular at Old Trafford, as well as incentivising him for scoring goals and providing assists.
In addition, his terms could be further improved if the club wins trophies and also if they manage to qualify for the Champions League next season.
