Rashford has two years left to run on his current deal and has the option of a one-year extension option.But according to the Daily Mirror, Rashford is ready to sign a new contract which will keep him at the club potentially until 2025 after discussions which aim to make him one of the better paid players at Old Trafford.It is understood executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward will announce a new contract for the striker within the next few weeks.2

The new deal could see Rashford on a similar wage to Anthony Martial

There were doubts surrounding the 21-year-old’s future under Jose Mourinho and Rashford was even linked with a move away from Old Trafford.However, since the Portuguese was sacked, Rashford has started in all but two of the 13 games, with one of them coming in an FA Cup tie against Championship side Reading.He has been used as a central striker ahead of Romelu Lukaku under the Norwegian and Rashford’s representatives have indicated his willingness to stay, on improved terms which will take him closer to Anthony Martial’s salary. Rashford’s team-mate Martial committed his future to the club by penning a new contract in January which will tie him down until 2024, thought to be worth in the region of 200,000 a week.Meanwhile, Ashley Young signed a one-year extension on his current contract earlier this month.United are also working on deals to get Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Andreas Pereira to extend their stay, while David de Gea had a one-year extension on his contract activated in November as he is yet to commit to a new deal.
