Marcus Rashford 'set to sign new five-year Manchester United contract'

Marcus Rashford is set to commit his long-term future to Manchester United after reportedly reaching an agreement in principle to sign a new five-year contract at Old Trafford.

Rashford, 25, has been in negotiations with United for a number of months over a new deal, with his current contract due to expire next summer.

United boss Erik ten Hag is desperate to keep hold of the England international, who scored 30 goals in 56 games across all competitions last season for the Premier League club.

The Athletic claim Rashford has agreed to sign a new deal that runs until 2028, which is now in its final stages of negotiation between the club and his representative Dwaine Maynard.

Rashford set to turn down 'lucrative' offers

Paris Saint-Germain have been strongly linked with a move for Rashford as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who could leave the club this summer.

The Athletic's David Ornstein has now confirmed Rashford has received 'lucrative' contract offers from abroad - as well as from another team in the Premier League - but is set to reject them to remain at Old Trafford.

"Rashford received more lucrative proposals from teams in England and Europe but turned them down to stay at United, where he has always dreamed of winning major honours," wrote Ornstein.

Rashford joined United at the age of seven and made his senior debut for the club in 2016, scoring twice on debut in a Europa League match against Midtjylland.

He has gone on to score 123 times in 359 senior appearances for the Red Devils, winning the Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup twice with his boyhood club.

His decision to remain with United is a major boost for Ten Hag ahead of the new season.

United have already signed Mason Mount in a £55m move from Chelsea, while the club is on the verge of completing a deal for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana.

United travel to the United States later this week for their pre-season tour, after their next warm-up match against French side Lyon in Scotland on Wednesday.
