WHAT’S THE NEWS?

Marcus Rashford is understood to be in talks with Manchester United over a new deal which will double his wages at Old Trafford.

Rashford has been instrumental in United’s resurrection under interim boss Solskjaer, netting six goals in his last ten matches for the club.

The 21-year-old has cemented his place as Europe’s most talented youngsters and would be out of contract in eighteen months, but United are confident of his future at United and looked to extend his stay further.

United have already tied down another talented star, Anthony Martial, with a five-year contract last week and looks set to do the same with Rashford.



Contract talks have reportedly progressed between the two parties, reports The Telegraph, as the club is ready to offer Rashford a new long-term contract that will see his wages doubled.

The report states that United believe the duo will be at the heart of a “world-class attack” at the club in subsequent years.

The five-year contract will reportedly see his wages double to more than £150,000 a week with bonuses, despite the club having the option of extending his current contract by 12 months.

The publication also reports that Rashford sees his future at Old Trafford despite European interest from clubs like Real Madrid.
