Marcus Rashford closing in on new £70m Manchester United deal?

Marcus Rashford has reportedly moved to the brink of penning a new long-term contract with Manchester United.

Rashford has come through the club's academy setup to establish himself as one of United's key men, but the 21-year-old currently has just 15 months remaining on his deal.

United have the option of extending that by a further year, but negotiations have remained ongoing regarding fresh terms which include a significant pay-rise.

According to The Mirror, the two parties are now in advanced talks over a contract which will see Rashford earn in the region of £70m over the course of a five-year deal.

Rashford has allegedly been attracting interest from each of Barcelona and Real Madrid, but the England international is keen to remain in the North-West of England.
