Marcus Rashford is looking forward to a lucrative new contract with Manchester United in the new year.
Rashford is in the best shape of his career, with 12 goals for United already this season, and the new deal reflects his growing importance and influence on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s developing side.
The 23-year-old is under contract until 2023, with the option of one more year, and it is understood that United wants to tie Rashford to a new long-term contract before next summer’s euros.
Rashford’s winning performances with United, the latest of his two-goal exploits in Thursday’s 3-2 win at Sheffield United, have caught the attention of Europe’s best clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris St. Germain.
United know that Rashford, currently making £ 200,000 a week, will be in even greater demand if he fires up Euro 2020 in next year’s delayed tournament, so they are prepared to offer a contract extension before then.
The Reds want to make sure all of their key players are tied to long-term deals, to help Solskjaer’s ongoing rebuilding, and playmaker Bruno Fernandes will also receive an improved treatment, less than a year after coming from Sporting. from Lisbon.
Rashford has enjoyed a meteoric rise since making his United debut in February 2016, as an 18-year-old stranger, since scoring 79 goals in 234 appearances for the Reds.
The England forward has also seen his global profile skyrocket following his pressure on the government to extend the provision of free school meals to all vulnerable children in the UK.
Rashford’s formidable campaign has earned him accolades around the world, as well as an MBE, with the forward determined to continue his work outside of football.
