Manchester United have opened new contract talks with star forward Marcus Rashford and are confident of tying him down to a five-year deal.
The England international’s current deal at Old Trafford runs through until the summer of 2024 after United recently triggered a one-year extension clause in his existing agreement. The club now want to agree a deal with Rashford which would see him commit his future to the Red Devils until his early 30s.
Rashford, 25, is expected to receive an increase on his £200k weekly salary but the club are not willing to break the £300k barrier for any contracts to decrease wage disparity within their ranks and make their outgoings more sustainable.
