Rashford to become Man Utd’s top earner

Manchester United are set to offer Marcus Rashford a £375,000-a-week contract – replacing David de Gea as the club’s top earner.

Rashford, 25, has just completed the finest season of his career to date, scoring 30 goals for United.

The England international’s superb form helped Erik ten Hag’s side finish third in the Premier League, win the Carabao Cup and reach the FA Cup final.

United are keen to tie Rashford, who found the net just five times during the 2021-22 campaign, down to a new long-term contract following his revival under Ten Hag.

The forward was born and raised in Manchester, first joining his boyhood club in 2005.

De Gea, meanwhile, is out of contract this summer and remains locked in contract talks with United.

The 32-year-old goalkeeper currently earns £375,000-a-week – the amount offered to Rashford – but will need to take a significant pay cut to stay at Old Trafford.
