Marcus Rashford is set to sign a new contract at Manchester United that will see him paid a huge £250,000 a week.
The Telegraph claims that the England international will receive a huge pay rise on his current £80,000-a-week salary, with performance incentives increasing that number to nearly £300,000 if he reaches his goals set by the club.
Rashford has caught the eye of clubs across Europe including Barcelona, meaning United have been forced to shell out more than initially thought to secure his long-term future.
But the club are ready to announce the agreement, which will see the 21-year-old commit his future to United until 2023 with the option of an additional year.
Ed Woodward, the Manchester United executive vice-chairman, has emailed all staff at the club to reveal what their new approach will be in the transfer market.
Fresh from the £50m signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, United are looking to sign “more exciting” players who fit the “long-term vision” of the club, according to The Telegraph.
It adds that United fans should expect more arrivals before the 8 August deadline, and that these players will fit the “philosophy” of the club that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is trying to introduce.
We start this morning with Arsenal’s attempts to sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace.
The Gunners are known to be looking at ways they can fund a move for the Ivory Coast forward, but their plans have been hit by Palace’s latest valuation of Zaha that prices him at £100m, almost certainly ruling out the prospect of Arsenal launching a summer move for the 26-year-old.
According to the Daily Mail, Palace chairman Steve Parish is reluctant to let Zaha leave the club and will force Arsenal to up their offer considerably or pull out of talks, even though Zaha has told the club he would like to leave for the north London side.
