Manchester United are in the process of planning a new contract offer for Marcus Rashford, even though they already have the option to extend his current deal by a further year.
The England international came off the bench in yesterday’s 6-2 win against Iran at the World Cup, scoring with his third touch of the ball and opening his account for goals at major international tournaments.
It was a proud moment for Rashford and we just love seeing him back playing with confidence.
Rashford is certainly not the type of player United would want to lose for free because along with his form, his valuation in the market will be on the rise. Erik ten Hag has quickly ensured that the young forward is back enjoying his football and it shows, even when playing for the Three Lions.
Speaking to CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on what he is hearing about United and Rashford’s potential contract offer, saying: “Manchester United will offer Marcus Rashford a new deal, it’s part of their plans.
“Even though his current contract expires in 2023, nothing is expected to end next summer as Man Utd have the option of a clause to extend his contract for one more year.
“Erik ten Hag considers Rashford as really important player for the present and future.”
Rashford’s long term role at United is likely to come on the left rather than centrally. I still think Ten Hag will sign a centre-forward in the summer. He will have no other choice when Cristiano Ronaldo leaves.
