Manchester United have opened talks with Marcus Rashford over a new and improved deal, according to reports. Rashford netted his 10th goal of the season in the 1-0 win at Leicester on Sunday, when the forward became the second youngest player to reach 100 Premier League appearances for United after Ryan Giggs. Rashford’s contract expires next year and, while United have the option to extend it until 2021, negotiations have begun over a fresh agreement. The club are also working on a new contract for goalkeeper David De Gea, having last week tied forward Anthony Martial down until at least 2024. Asked about Rashford and Martial pushing each other on, United caretaker boss Solskjaer said: “Yeah, through healthy competition but they can also create a relationship because hopefully they will play many, many years together.
