Rashford close to extending his contract with Man Utd

Manchester United want to reward Marcus Rashford for his performances last season as the left winger scored 30 goals in 56 appearances for the Old Trafford outfit.

As a result, the board are still working on his renewal and are very close to presenting him with a new long-term deal. They want to keep the English striker for several more seasons and add a buyout clause to keep him away from the interest of other clubs.

According to the 'Daily Mail', both parties are in advanced talks to extend his contract. Meanwhile, the Red Devils are still looking for a new striker to bolster their attack. Atalanta's Rasmus Hojlund and Frankfurt's Kolo Muani are the main contenders to join Erik ten Hag's squad.

They have a tricky summer ahead of them as they are also looking for a new goalkeeper to replace David de Gea, who has left the English side as a free agent after 12 years in a United shirt.
