Manchester United have offered young striker Danny Welbeck a new contract that would treble his current wages, according to the Daily Mail.

The 20-year-old has been in fine form so far this season, scoring five goals in as many starts, and Sir Alex Ferguson is believed to be keen to tie his future to Old Trafford.

Welbeck was reportedly offered a five-year extension at £50,000 per week after recent discussions with the club hierarchy, which would dwarf his current £15,000 per week deal.

The forward is believed to be in no rush to sign a new contract, with talks expected to be ongoing over the coming weeks.

His current contract expires in 18 months’ time and the Red Devils manager apparently feels it is important to remove any doubt over the future of his young charge.

Welbeck appears to have leapfrogged both Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen in the pecking order at Old Trafford, having spent last season on loan at Sunderland.
