Paul Scholes has told Manchester United why Marcus Rashford contract is so important

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Marcus Rashford looks set to finally commit his long-term future to Manchester United and Paul Scholes knows the importance of keeping the best players on board.

The Athletic reported on Monday that Rashford has agreed a new five-year deal in principle, knocking back 'more lucrative proposals' from teams in the Premier League and across Europe.

The forward's current deal had entered its final 12 months this summer, leading to some concern. However, the Manchester Evening News reported last month that while talks were still ongoing, the club were increasingly optimistic that a new contract could be agreed upon.

His likely salary is expected to top £ 300,000 per week. Want to join our MUFC Pro club for a totally ad-free version of the MEN’s Man United app packed with premium features?
