Marcus Rashford is set to commit his future to Manchester United after rejecting more lucrative offers from elsewhere, according to reports.
Rashford has been in talks with the Red Devils for a considerable time to extend his stay at his boyhood club. The 25-year-old's current deal at Old Trafford runs out in 2024.
And United fans will now be able to sleep easy with the news that Rashford has reportedly reached an agreement in principle to sign a new five-year contract. The deal puts an end to months of speculation over his future and commits him to the club until 2028.
According to The Athletic, Rashford's new contract is now in the final stages of negotiation between United and Dwaine Maynard, who acts as the player's representative. It's the perfect start to a potentially big week for the Red Devils, with the club set to confirm the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan.
Rashford reached a new level of form for club and country last season, bagging 30 goals in 56 appearances across all competitions. He became one of the Premier League's standout players after the World Cup.
Retaining Rashford's services is a huge coup for United. According to the report, the forward received more lucrative offers from teams in England and Europe but rejected them in favour of staying at Old Trafford.
Rashford has been a United player since the age of seven, scoring 123 times in 359 appearances since graduating to the first-team under Louis van Gaal in 2015.
