Marcus Rashford, a forward for England’s national team, is close to finalizing a new five-year contract with Manchester United.
According to the Sun, the new agreement will result in a considerable boost in his weekly pay of almost fifty percent, from two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand pounds.
Rashford has been in tremendous form recently, scoring for the Red Devils in each of the last seven games he played.
A month ago, United began the process of extending the present player’s contract by one year. The player is 25 years old.
The forward’s name is among those that they would list in connection with the Ligue 1 powerhouse, Paris Saint-Germain.
In 18 Premier League appearances so far this season, Rashford has netted eight goals and three assists to go along with those totals.
At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, held in Qatar, he played in all five games and scored three goals.
After 18 matches in the Premier League, the Red Devils have accumulated 38 points, good for fourth place in the standings.
