Manchester United 'are ready to start talks with Marcus Rashford over a new five-year deal at Old Trafford' after his impressive start to the new campaign

Manchester United are reportedly set to begin contract talks with rejuvenated forward Marcus Rashford.

The 24-year-old's Old Trafford future looked in doubt over the summer following a poor season in which he struggled with injury and scored just five goals in 32 appearances.

But he is already over halfway to that tally this term, making an electric start to the campaign with three goals in six matches.
