Man Utd face major test of new 'Cristiano Ronaldo rule' installed by Erik ten Hag

Manchester United's new ' Cristiano Ronaldo rule' could be put to the test with Marcus Rashford in talks over a new bumper contract, according to reports.

It was reported earlier this month that United will introduce a salary cap of £200,000 per-week to ensure that there's no bad blood in the Old Trafford dressing room when it comes to wages. The Red Devils are set to implement the law after United waved goodbye to Ronaldo and his £480,000-a-week contract in November.

Chief executive Richard Arnold, football director John Murtough and manager Erik ten Hag have devised the strategy in an effort to move away from a culture of jealousy within the team. David de Gea is now the highest earner at the club ahead of Jadon Sancho - but the goalkeeper could see his wages slashed if he signs fresh terms.
