The 23-year-old has been in scintillating form for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this season and boasts 12 goals and five assists in all competitions for the Red Devils.

Rashford has become renowned for his work off the pitch as much as he has on it this season, and the England international has reportedly attracted interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks.

According to The Mirror, United are desperate to tie Rashford down to a new deal before next summer's Euros, with interest in the forward expected to increase should he produce the goods for England.
