Marcus Rashford new deal details revealed as Man Utd continue talks with striker

Rashford’s current deal, worth £75,000-a-week, expires at the end of next season, with the option for an extra year .

Manchester United are continuing talks with Marcus Rashford’s representatives over a new contract for the England striker worth a basic £150,000 a week, rising to £200,000 a week with add-ons and bonuses.

But United want to reward the 21-year-old’s progress and reflect his new-found status as one of their most important players.

European giants including Real Madrid , Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are closely monitoring Rashford’s situation and are poised to swoop should there be any hint of a failure to agree new terms between the player and United.

However, United are understood to be confident of getting Rashford tied down to an improved long-term deal, with the Manchester-born forward said to have no desire to leave his boyhood club now he has established himself as an automatic choice under Solskjaer.

That was not the case under previous boss Jose Mourinho, but Rashford has flourished under Solskjaer, scoring seven goals in 17 appearances, including the ice-cool 94th-minute penalty at PSG to clinch United’s epic Champions League comeback and seal their quarter-final place.

Meanwhile, manager Solskjaer is set to be named as United’s permanent boss during the upcoming international break.

Solskjaer has been on a remarkable run since being named as interim manager in December after Mourinho’s sacking, winning 14 games, drawing two and losing just twice.
