Manchester United are making 'good progress' in contract talks with star player Marcus Rashford, according to the Telegraph.

Rashford's current deal expires next summer so the Red Devils are desperate to tie him down to a long-term deal.

The 25-year-old's representatives have been in talks with the club for number of weeks but they appear to have made a breakthrough.

Rashford is looking for a salary that reflects his growing status with the team, having scored 29 goals this season.

His new wage could well be in the ballpark of £375,000 a week, what the club's highest earner David de Gea is currently on.

Should Rashford fail to agree terms, Paris Saint-Germain are keen on the England international.

Rashford’s classy act to help out bankrupt Man Utd legend

Rashford has once again shown his big heart by offering to help out Manchester United legend Wes Brown just days after he was declared bankrupt by the High Court.

Brown was on the books of Man Utd from 1996 until 2011 and played over 350 games for the Old Trafford club during that extensive period.

Most notably, he was a member of the treble-winning squad of the 1998/99 season, which is remembered as one of the finest that England has ever produced.

Despite these highs on the pitch, Brown, who also played for Sunderland, Blackburn Rovers and Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters, has had a difficult period off the pitch.

He was declared bankrupt after falling into substantial debt with HRMC, but Rashford is one of the Man Utd stars to have rallied round to help a player who had departed the club by the time he debuted in 2015.

It is reported by the Mirror that Rashford is helping out Brown by offering him “mates rates” on what is described as a “luxury” property.
