Reports from ESPN claim that Manchester United are readying up a contract offer for their academy starlet, Marcus Rashford in order to knock away rival interests.
The 21-year-old forward has hit a rich vein of form in recent months and the Red Devils hierarchy are prepared to give him a raise.
It has been only days since United extended Anthony Martial’s contract by another 5 years and now they are looking to move on their star attacker. Rashford has racked up 6 goals in the last 10 games under interim boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
He even scored the winner and the only goal in the 0-1 away win to Leicester City which helped United upstage Arsenal in the Premier League standings.
Rashford is viewed as an integral part of the club’s future. His rise from just an academy prospect was seen to have stunted under Jose Mourinho but his recent form has proven otherwise.
The attacker simply needed a boost of confidence and to be allowed to spread his own wings. With his current deal set to end in another 17 months, Real Madrid have been closely monitoring Rashford for a potential summer move.
The report claims that bosses at Old Trafford are ready to offer the youngster a £150,000-per-week contract.
