Marcus Rashford ready to commit to new Man Utd deal

Marcus Rashford is ready to commit to a new deal with Manchester United.

The Daily Mail says United have held positive talks with Rashford's representatives, raising hopes the England striker will sign a new five-year contract at Old Trafford worth £150,000-a-week.

Rashford's current deal runs out next summer - although United have an option to extend it by a further 12 months - and he is set to more than double his current salary.

The 21-year-old has produced the best form of his young career under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, scoring eight goals in 18 games under the Norwegian coach.

Rashford gets on particularly well with Solskjaer having benefited from the former United striker's expert knowledge of the position and commitment to promoting the club's young players.
