From the Sunday People:

Quinton Fortuneis set to sign a one-year extension to his contract, keeping him at Old Trafford until the summer of 2007.

The versatile South African, 28 next month, has been offered an incentive-based deal that is becoming almost standard issue at Old Trafford.

United chief executive David Gill wants to move away from fat 'up-front' contracts where players are given a big basic wage.

Instead, the club are phasing in incentive deals where players boost their pay by appearances and hitting targets while earning a more modest basic wage.

Fortune's deal fits into the new category and he is believed to be ready to agree to the extension.He only had a year left after this season, but Ferguson was keen to keep him on board after a consistent campaign.
