Marcus Rashford will be offered a new £15,000-a-week contract at Manchester United before the end of the season, according to a report.

Manchester United are reportedly preparing to offer teenage striker Marcus Rashford a new long-term deal.

The 18-year-old has burst onto the scene in 2016, netting five goals in eight appearances for the senior side, including the winner against Manchester City at the weekend.

According to The Sun, Man United initially wanted to wait until the summer before offering a new contract, but Rashford's rise in recent weeks has forced their hand.

The same report claims that the Englishman will be offered around £15,000 a week, which dwarfs his current salary of £1,000 a week.

Rashford joined Man United from local club Fletcher Moss Rangers in 2005.
