Rashford has been on fire for Manchester United recently

Los Blancos are in desperate need of a top striker and Rashford's latest upturn in form seems to have caught their eye. According to Metro, Real Madrid are preparing a £100 million bid for the Manchester-born and bred youngster.

Marcus Rashford is set for a contract extension at Manchester United. This is on the back of Rashford's recent form where he has received a shot in the arm under the guidance of new caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Towards the end of Mourinho's stint at Trafford, Rashford was open to a move and the report claims that his representatives had sat down with their Real Madrid counterparts to discuss a potential deal.

There are also claims that United will offer Rashford a whopping £200,000 per week contract to ensure he stays on at the club where he rose through the ranks. Rashford remains a fan-favourite and seems to be enjoying life as United embark on an exciting phase post the Ferguson era playing some attractive, attacking football.
