And executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is confident he will be able to announce a new contract for the 21-year-old within the next few weeks. Rashford had doubts about his United future under Jose Mourinho and made noises about a move in search of more regular first-team football. He has started all but two of the 13 games since Mourinho left, with one of those an FA Cup tie against Championship strugglers Reading. United are also in talks with keeper David de Gea, but the Spain international has indicated he is not yet ready to commit to a new contract, though talks are continuing. Juan Mata and Ashley Young have also been offered new deals.
