Ashley Young hopes he stays beyond his current deal despite having only 1 year remaining in his contract.
The former Watford and Aston Villa man turned down a move to China in January to stay and fight for his place under Jose Mourinho.
He has precisely done that, having become a key squad player in recent months, even rising to captain United against Chelsea last Sunday.
He hopes he's already done enough to warrant a longer deal at the club and he was quoted saying,
"There was of course, and there is always, speculation and especially when there is a transfer window and you are not playing.
"But I have always said that I want to play as much as possible. What the future holds I am not too sure. I am just concentrating on each game and when the manager calls on me I will give 100 per cent and look to play as well as I can.
"I am looking to play as many games as I can between now and the end of the season. That is what I am concentrating on now. That is the main focus for me and then we will see what happens.
"I have fire and hunger in my belly. I want to succeed. I work hard. When you have such competition in a fantastic squad it pushes you on every day.
"If you watched training there are no challenges that are not like in a game. Everybody wants to pull on the shirt and I am no different."
Young has started on 13 games all season but with 8 of those starts coming in the last 13 matches, he seems to have finally won his place back in the team.
He however faces a fight with Luke Shaw for a left-back spot against Anderlecht on Thursday.
