AC Milan will reportedly soon offer Nigel de Jong a new contract.

The Netherlands international was strongly linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer, but the experienced midfielder remained at the San Siro.

It had been thought that United would return in January, but according to talkSPORT, Milan want to tie the holding midfielder to a new contract.

De Jong started his professional career with Ajax before moving to Hamburger SV in 2006. The Dutchman also represented Manchester City from 2009 to 2012.
