Both players are out of terms in 2023, but United are understood to have extension options in both contracts.

Rashford stance

Reports emerged recently, claiming that Rashford wants to evaluate his future in the summer amid mixed form at Old Trafford this summer.

But amid fresh reports that United want to start contract talks, the Express say the forward is ‘open-minded’ about his future.

That’s good news for the Red Devils, if indeed they do want to get Rashford to pen new terms.

Super-agent Jorge Mendes is said to be keen for Harry Kane to join United this summer.

According to The Athletic, Mendes has been sounding out strikers for Tottenham with the hope that Kane moves on, and he is said to be keen for United to pull off a deal for the striker.
