Man Utd: Lingard injured by Rashford in hilarious celebration
Manchester United star Rashford is on the verge of signing a new contract with the Red Devils that will see him become one of the club’s highest-earners.
The 21-year-old has been linked with La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona amid uncertainty over his Old Trafford future.
However, Manchester United think Rashford will sign on terms of £250,000-a-week.
He is not the only player the club are planning to offer a new contract to, however, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eager to keep his squad together.

“Twenty years ago, somebody going on a holiday would have been ‘bladdered’ for four weeks. What’s worse – a social media post where somebody’s having a bit of a joke or getting bladdered for four weeks?
“You’d rather have your player being sober, probably training all day and having a joke with his mates.
“This is absolutely a lesser evil than we had 20 years ago when players would go off for five or six weeks and come back overweight, saying ‘pre-season’s for getting fit’.
“The idea of a guy going on social media, looking a bit of a prat while not winning football matches and not playing that well is a really bad cocktail.
“But then again, on the other side, he’s giving his all, he’s a young lad and social media is the modern form of media, so get over it.”
