Manchester United in contract extension talks with Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford and Manchester United are in talks to come to an agreement over a new contract, according to Portuguese transfer insider Pedro Almeida on Twitter (h/t The Sun).

The England international’s current deal is set to end next year. However, there is an option in the 24-year-old’s contract to renew it to 2024 automatically.

With only a year left on Rashford’s contract, many top clubs have been circling the forward. The likes of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have made their interest known in the 24-year-old.

Rashford has had a difficult few months at United. The penalty miss in the Euro 2020 final seemed to have affected the England international’s confidence.

In the previous campaign, Rashford featured in 32 games in all competitions for the Red Devils. The 24-year-old lost his place in the side after lacklustre performances. The United academy graduate ended the 2021/22 season with five goals and two assists to his name.

However, under Erik ten Hag, Rashford has apparently revived his form. The 24-year-old had an impressive pre-season. But United were poor overall in the first two competitive games under the new gaffer.

After the 4-0 loss to Brentford, Rashford was chosen to play up front, and the 24-year-old has not disappointed. He has picked up where he left off in the friendlies and scored some important goals.

United have won four league games in a row. And the England international has been pivotal in our run. Rashford has found the back of the net against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Having come off one of his worst seasons, the 24-year-old has done well in the past few weeks. However, whether Rashford is able to keep up the good work throughout the season is something fans will have to wait and see.
