Manchester United are ready to open new contract talks with Marcus Rashford.

The Sun says United are ready to reward Rashford's early season form with a new five-year deal.

The forward has less than 10 months remaining on his current £200,000-a-week contract, although United have the option to extend it by a further 12 months.

But his representatives held secret talks with Paris Saint-Germain in the French capital last month, increasing suggestions that Rashford wanted a fresh start after also losing his place in the England squad last season.

But he appears a much happier player under new United boss Erik ten Hag, who has been adamant that he "definitely" wants to keep Rashford.

"I don't think he's out of contract – United control the situation," Ten Hag said this week. "I see a happy Marcus Rashford. I see some phases in his game we could improve, and we worked really hard the last two-and-a-half months with him on different aspects. He really likes it and wants to transfer it to the pitch."
