United's star player set for mega-contract offer for great form

This season, Manchester United fans have been in a more celebratory mood after new manager Erik Ten Hag brought the feel-good factor back into the club. The manager who joined in the summer was formerly at the helms of affair Ajax.

At his very first press conference after joining United, Erik Ten Hag addressed speculation about how he was going to manage his group of players that have underperformed for some years now despite still being very full of talent and potential.

His reply was basically that he would look at the problems individually and the best way to help them enjoy football again is by rediscovering their form. His first piece of work was to reassure United breed Marcus Rashford of his value to his plans.

Ten Hag wasted no time in backing the Englishman who was almost at the exit door when he came in as manager. Since then Rashford looked like a different player, which drives more excitement in the hearts of United fans both on and off the ball this season.

IS THE BOARD OFFERING HIM A NEW CONTRACT?

Since Rashford became the lead to spearhead Erik Ten Hag's project, he has repaid his manager with several top performances this season and is United's most in-form player at the moment, racking up goals for both club and country this season. His impressive form prompted the board to work as they are ready to offer their star player a huge long-term contract to remain at the club as his current one will expire in June 2023, though United has the option to extend to 2024.
