The right-back has just over a year left to run on his contract at St Mary's but Saints director Les Reed is confident he will prolong his stay.Southampton executive director Les Reed is hopeful England full-back Nathaniel Clyne will sign a new contract at the club.
Goal understands Clyne, whose current deal expires in 2016, would be receptive to a move to Old Trafford but Reed remains confident he will remain with the Saints.
He told talkSPORT: "We're in constant communication. These contract negotiations are never just one meeting, where everything is done and sorted out.
"You have to bear in mind, especially with Nathaniel, that we want him to focus on the last few games of the season. That's why you'll get players saying 'let's wait until the end of the season'.
"That's quite normal and he's very happy. He's managed to force himself into the England squad and is showcasing his talents.
"I'd be very surprised if there wasn't speculation about him but, at the moment, the signs are good."
The former Crystal Palace defender has been linked with a move to Manchester United after another outstanding season which has included international recognition for the first time.
