Erik ten Hag is eager to keep Rashford at United, especially following his impressive start to the season which has seen him score two goals and provide three assists in six Premier League appearances.

Rashford has endured much frustration over the past couple of seasons as he has struggled for form and has also endured niggling injuries. 

However, there have been some encouraging signs for Rashford under ten Hag so far and he is also eager to break back into the England squad ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.

In total Rashford has made 309 appearances for United and has scored 96 goals.
