Marcus Rashford set to sign bumper new five-year contract with Manchester United worth £78m to become one of the highest paid English players

Marcus Rashford will commit the prime years of his career to Manchester United by signing a new five-year contract worth £78million.

Rashford has agreed terms over a £300,000-a-week deal that will run until 2028, and is set to put pen to paper this week.

United will be delighted to secure Rashford’s future after clinching the signings of Mason Mount from Chelsea and Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana.

It follows more than a year of negotiations during which Rashford’s agent and brother Dwaine Maynard met with Paris Saint-Germain.

The 25-year-old player entered the final 12 months of his current £250,000-a-week deal this month and would have been a free agent next summer.
