Marcus Rashford close to agreeing new £100m deal to become Man Utd’s highest-paid player

England star Rasford has one year left on his current deal but is set to sign an extension that will see him earn close to £375,000 a week

Marcus Rashford is close to agreeing a new contract extension with Manchester United worth nearly £100million.

The United striker has one year left on his current deal, but it is understood he is ready to pen to paper on a new agreement worth around £375,000-a-week.

The new contract, believed to be a five-year deal with the option of an extra year, will make Rashford United’s highest-paid player, replacing goalkeeper David De Gea.

De Gea is out of contract at the end of this month and looks to be on his way out of United, after failing to agree a new deal on reduced terms of around £175,000-a-week.
