Manchester United "will give Marcus Rashford a lucrative six-year contract"

Marcus Rashford would be ready to sign a new lucrative six-year contract at Manchester United.

The England international has had some tough times under Jose Mourinho, but he's been an extremely important player for United since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was named interim boss.

According to The Mirror, the negotiations have come to a breakthrough and Rashford is ready to sign a new contract until the summer of 2025, allowing him to earn about £ 200,000 a week.

Rashford's current contract runs until 2020, although there is an option for an additional year.

The report says Rashford had doubts about his future at Old Trafford while Mourinho was in charge, but the 21-year-old is now much happier.

Rashford has been frequently deployed forward by Solskjaer and has scored eight goals in his last 15 games.

During his career at United, Rashford won the Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup.

United is eager to tie David De Gea to a new contract, but the goalkeeper is not yet ready to commit to his long-term future in the club.

The Solskjaer team, which ranks fourth in the Premier League standings, will host Liverpool Sunday in an intriguing match.
