However, the club intend to show their support for the stricken player by confirming a new contract in the coming days. United’s sporting director Tony Asghar said on the club’s website: “Everyone at United is gutted for Nicky. “On the upside, we have agreed terms with Nicky to extend his current contract to keep him at the club until at least the summer of 2021 and should confirm that in the coming days. No doubt the boys will keep the run going and I’ll be there to support them!! Thanks for all the messages much appreciated.”Saturday’s win saw United extend their lead at the top of the Championship to 17 points, with second placed Inverness having a game in hand as they were one of several sides to see their match postponed due to the weather.
