Beckford is understood to be keen to resolve his future following United's failure to win promotion and United have moved quickly to try and keep hold of the striker.

Chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "I spoke to Jermaine's agent on Wednesday and we will be forwarding an offer of a new contract now we know which division we will be playing in next season.

"I understand Jermaine's desire to have his future resolved and to know what the future holds for him.

"But there is plenty of time to resolve this matter over the summer.

"Having seen Jermaine's reaction at the end of last Thursday night (when Leeds were knocked out of the play-offs by Millwall) when he was virtually inconsolable, that did not look like the reaction of a player who is desperate to get away from this club.

"I understand he wants his future resolving and so do Leeds United. It will be done in the proper manner between the two parties."
