Report: Marcus Rashford Close to New Man United Contract Amid Barcelona Rumours

Manchester United have reportedly made a "breakthrough" in contract negotiations with Marcus Rashford.

According to the Mirror's David Maddock, discussions have taken place between Rashford and the Red Devils, and the 21-year-old has told the club he's willing to commit his future to United now that it's clear he's central to the plans of interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Rashford has been a regular starter since Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho, and his output has dramatically increased under the new boss.

A new deal could help ward off the interest of Barcelona.
