Rashford's goalscoring prowess was key to United's encouraging campaign that saw them end their trophy drought after they beat Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.

According to The Mirror, Rashford is close to agreeing a new contract extension at Old Trafford worth nearly £100million.

The bumper deal will see him become United's best-paid player, as he will pocket around £375,000-a-week.

Who is Man United's best-paid player?

David de Gea has been the club's highest-earning player, with the Spaniard believed to be pocketing an eyewatering £375,000 as weekly wages.

However, his deal that has him earning that much is ending and is yet to pen a renewal.

Considering his age and questionable form, the former Atletico Madrid keeper is unlikely to get a pay rise should he decide to continue at Manchester United.

If anything, the 32-year-old is primed to take a significant pay cut for him to get a contract renewal.

Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane, and Casemiro are among the other best-paid players at Man United.
