Negotiations are nearing completion – Rashford is very pleased with Erik ten Hag.
Rashford enjoys working with Erik Ten Hag and is willing to dedicate his long-term career to his childhood club.
According to reports, the new contract may see the 25-year-old become the club’s highest earner, earning roughly £375,000 each week. David de Gea now earns this much, although he is negotiating a hefty wage cut with Manchester United.
It’s no surprise that Rashford has been offered new contracts after a standout season in which he became the first player in ten years to score 30 goals in all competitions, oversaw his most prolific season to date, and was named Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year.
He was instrumental in ensuring a top-four finish and Champions League qualification, as well as breaking United’s six-year trophy drought by scoring the game-winning goal in the Carabao Cup final.
