The club are also keen to raise his wages
Marcus Rashford burst on to the scene for Manchester United in 2016 as he marked his debut for the club by scoring two goals against Midtjylland in the second leg of the Europa League. He even scored two goals against Arsenal in his Premier League debut.
Since then he has been ever present for the Premier League giants and has established himself as one of most talented youngsters in the world.
Since Jose Mourinho took over the charge of Red Devils in 2016, The 20 year old has featured in 102 of the club’s 117 competitive games, as both a starter and a substitute, more than any other player.
The England International was in good form for the club last season but has found his first team opportunities to be somewhat restricted under the Portuguese, starting only 16 games in the Premier League this season. Since the arrival of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal in the January transfer window, he has been mostly used as a substitute.
This led to speculations that the former Chelsea manager could send the forward out on loan this summer in order to get more first team football minutes. But he dismissed the rumours and claimed that he is a key member of the squad.
No,” the boss asserted, when pressed on any benefits of loaning the English striker. “What does he need to do to impress me? He impresses me. That’s the reason why he was selected for every match of the season, absolutely every match of the season and that’s why he played in so many of them, so he doesn’t need to leave to play. He doesn’t need anything to prove”.
Rashford’s representatives and Manchester United will look to discuss extending the youngster’s contract after the World Cup, report the Sun .
He has two years left on his deal, but United are keen to raise his wages from £80,000-per-week up to £130,000-per-week once some of the higher earners are cleared off the books.
