Manchester United are having contract extension talks with United States goalkeeper Tim Howard, manager Alex Ferguson says.
The 25-year-old Howard, who moved to Old Trafford in 2003, has struggled to hold down a first-team place this season in competition with Northern Ireland's Roy Carroll.
"He [Howard] is still a young goalkeeper who needs experience. That is the area we know we will see improvement in him," Ferguson said.
"Tim's people have been in talks with [chief executive] David Gill, so we are on the move with that one."
Carroll has not yet agreed on a new contract.
