Marcus Rashford in Talks Over New £150,000-a-Week Contract at Manchester United

Manchester United have opened talks with Marcus Rashford over a new contract following his impressive run of form under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær.

Rashford, who will be out of contract in 2020, has hit six goals in 10 matches under the Norwegian boss and in recent weeks has firmly staked his claim to be the club's first choice striker for years to come. United do have an option to extend Rashford's current deal by a year, but are looking to tie up his long-term future and ensure his best years are played at Old Trafford.

The England international has been targeted by Real Madrid following his upturn in form, but Rashford is reported by the Telegraph to see his future with his boyhood club.
