Rashford found the back of the net twice in United's Europa League win over Danish Champions FC Midtjylland mid-week, before scoring another brace against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Daily Express is reporting Rashford is set to reap the rewards of thos performances with United tabling a new contract offer that will see his weekly wage increase from £1,500 to £15,000.
