In January, the 24-year-old said he wanted to do what was right for himself, regarding contract talks.
U’s head coach Karl Robinson added that he wanted Sykes to stay at the club ‘for a long time’.
The former Glenavon man said: “It’s not a distraction, because there’s nothing else happening for me at the minute.”
Sykes was left out of the squad for United’s final game of the season against Doncaster Rovers, with Robinson stating he would pick players he expected to be at the club for the 2022/23 campaign.
It was a low-profile end to what was his most productive season since joining the U’s in January 2019, having scored eight times in 45 appearances, bagging another five assists.
