 Marcus Rashford hits out over contract offer story

Marcus Rashford has hit out over reports he could land a staggering contract offer from Manchester United.

Rashford’s deal expires in June 2023, but United have an option to extend it for a further year, while a long-term solution is agreed.

The Daily Star reported United are preparing to offer Rashford a deal of £400,000 per week.

Rashford has now vehemently denied this, branding the reports as unhelpful, in a tweet sent out during the World Cup final.

Rashford has criticised the story, responding to a transfer news account on Twitter, which has since deleted the tweet.
