Has there been any indication that he might not sign a new deal? I've always been under the impression that his roots were important to him.
Sancho is on £350k a week so it’s going to be pretty hard for the club to agree a deal on less than that.
Casemiro and Varane are up near those sort of wages as well.
His contract won’t be sorted until the club is sold anyway.
Academy grads are usually offered, and accept lower wages that star purchases, don't know why, but ....
Well I do know.
I accept the general point but how many of these academy grads became the face of the club? When Becks reached that status he was top earner and while Rashford isn’t the worldwide megastar becks was I don’t think he will be accepting less than the going rate.
Becks last contract he was on £100k a week from memory he was the first player in England to earn that sort of money, as it included a share in his image rights.
It put him above the deal Keane got.
And Keane and SAF would've signed a contract extension to match/better it not long after.
Please provide your supporting evidence.
The Beckham deal included a share of his image rights so his base salary may have been lower than those 2 but his whole package likely worth more.
Keane signs new United deal

Becks signed his deal after Keane renewed his contract and given how much of a cash cow he was it isn’t surprising that he was the top earner.
Behave with that nonsense, and how old were you when it happened, had you even started big-boys school yet?
Roy Keane, SAF's Captain was always the top paid player(as is the case at most clubs), and SAF after being criminally underpaid for years had an agreement with the board that he(SAF)would get the same, and the only time Keane wasn't the top earner were the brief spells after certain players(your example Beckham) negotiated a new deal, or when players like Veron came in, but it was written(presumably) in Keane's contract that he would have parity at least with the highest earner.
And the image rights were a separate issue, and that's the one downside of Cantona's time at the club, the only downside, and one of the reasons SAF tried to push Beckham out the door when he started getting too big for his boots.
Yep was well on my way to nailing my GCSE's and I'll resist taking a dig at your age.
I asked you to back up your opinion with a fact, provide me something other than just your opinion and I might accept I'm wrong and you are right. I looked back to check my memory and what I found supports what I remember Beckham got big fat contracts that were on par or better than anyone else at the club despite being an academy player.
Interesting logic about the captains Cantona and Keane probably were the highest earners as captains but I doubt Bruce, Schmeichel, Neville and Vidic were the highest earners at Utd when they were captain.
Your original point was the club can normally get away with paying the academy lads a bit less than they'd get elsewhere and I tend to agree with that but there's always an exception and I pointed to Beckham. Rashford is by far the most high profile academy player we've had since Becks so he's going to be able to go into negotiations with the club and expect the market rate.
Utd probably used to get away with paying a bit less than others because they were winning every season. Players probably turned down more money to be a Utd player Berbatov/RVP probably would have earned more at City than they got at Utd but Utd is where they wanted to play.
Rashford got less on his last contract than Martial did reports were £200k a week to £250k a week. If I was Rashford going into these talks I'd be pretty determined not to be mugged off again.
Rashford strikes again! will he manage to get to the end of the season before his sulky, stroppy self resurfaces?
He is still to convince me he is or can be the real deal over a prolonged period.
No not at all. When a footballer pulls on the United shirt and takes to the pitch he should do so with the mindset that they will give their all to get the result. There are a number of players in this squad that weren't doing that for extended periods prior to EtH signings restoring some work ethic, pride in performance, pride in the jersey. Those players have a long way to go before they can be forgiven their sins. They will need to shine for a long time, not just a purple patch to restore faith. Rashford is one of them players. His extended run of piss poor form and seeming lack of interest was largely down to sulking. We can all be unhappy for whatever reason but you need to get over it for 90 minutes.Sorry but that has got to be a wind up.

Rashford showed he has the sulking potential within his make up and so there is potential for it to return.
He needs to show us it wont.
Not at all. I am hopeful he knows that under EtH there is no room for it and there will be a price to pay should he start such sulky ways again. Then he may even learn the meaning of a touch too many, when best to release the ball etc etc..... upon which he may become one of the best in Europe.Don't know why but I read that in the voice of the late Rev Ian Paisley ....
But joking aside it reads as though you expect Sulky Boy to come back, slightly more than you hope it doesn't.
That about sums it upI think it's pretty obvious his head had gone last year the injuries, the penalty miss at the euro's, the absolute mess Utd were in clearly got to him and he wasn't himself.
The culture change at the club has clearly helped him loads of the unhappy players are now gone, it's now looking more like a serious professional culture is in place and the players are buzzing off it as it's getting the best from them.
Anyone who's worked in a toxic work environment will know it drags your own performance down to that level eventually it's no different in football. If you create a healthy, focused and rewarding environment in the way ETH has it will bring everyone else up to that level and those that don't want to be part of it need to leave.
In terms of ability I don't think Rashford can be an Mbappe level player the unstoppable force type forward who gets you 40 odd a season but he can easily reach the level of a player like Son and be a 20-25 goal a season forward.
No doubt this current run will end and he will have a dip in form as he's that sort of player but even Rooney had those sort of slumps. The way he's playing at the moment he is pretty much unplayable and the opponent must be terrified of what he's going to do to them.

I’m the form of his life. Think he will hit 35+ goals for the season.
