'We are not banging on desks and slamming doors,' said Harry Swales. 'We are just waiting for the gentlemen in grey suits to get back in touch with us. Ryan isn't asking for any more money and he certainly doesn't want to leave Manchester United. If he had his way, he would stay with them for the rest of his career. What he does want is a two-year contract and I don't think he is asking for the world.'
'Ryan is fit and dedicated and you can't buy the kind of enthusiasm he has amassed. We have got on well with the board at United and long may that continue. But just at the moment, the ball is in their court.'
