Man Utd bring forward contract option plans for Rashford

 


Manchester United aim to trigger the 12-month option in Marcus Rashford's contract before the New Year.

The Daily Mail says United will secure Rashford's future at Old Trafford before the end of the year to fend off interest from rival clubs.

Rashford has entered the final eight months of his £200,000-a-week contract, and United will either offer him new terms or trigger the one-year option on his current deal — otherwise Rashford would be able to open talks formally with foreign clubs from January 1.

The striker's representatives met officials from Paris Saint-Germain over the summer.

Rashford turned 25 on Monday after celebrating reaching a century of goals for United on Sunday, when he headed the winner against West Ham.

Manager Erik ten Hag sees Rashford as central to his plans and it is understood that the Manchester-born player wants to stay at the club he joined at the age of seven.
