Sharp was a regular starter for United last season, but suffered an ankle injury in pre-season and has been unable to dislodge Lee Ridley from the side.

Weekend reports suggested that the Stags, who recently named Carlton Palmer as their full-time manager, were chasing his signature.

He is out of contract in the summer, but Laws hopes to get him to stay at Glanford Park.

Earlier in the season Laws rejected an approach from Shrewsbury Town to take him on loan, saying he needed the strongest possible squad for the club's promotion push.
