Erik ten Hag has informed the Manchester United hierarchy that he would like the club to reach an agreement with Marcus Rashford over a new contract before the summer.
After a tough spell prior to Ten Hag's arrival, Rashford has been revitalised since working with the Dutchman and currently tops United's scoring charts after plundering 27 goals in all competitions this term.
The 25-year-old will have just one year left on his current contract at the end of the season and United are eager to thrash out fresh terms with the England star, who would be in line to become the club's highest paid player. However, Rashford has decided to delay contract talks until the ongoing takeover saga has concluded.
