Rashford contract

Manchester United are increasingly hopeful of agreeing a new contract with Marcus Rashford.

Sources say they are hopeful there will be a formal announcement on Rashford's new deal sooner rather than later.

Rashford, 25, is approaching the final year of his existing contract and Paris Saint-Germain are firm admirers but the forward is expected to become one of United's highest earners after scoring 30 goals last season.

Osimhen claim

Napoli's president has claimed bids for Manchester United target Victor Osimhen will be considered this summer, but suggested the Nigerian forward has already agreed to extend his stay with the Serie A champions until 2027.

The 24-year-old is one of the most sought-after forwards in the world after a brilliant season. Osimhen's goals fired Napoli to their first Serie A title in over three decades and his displays in the Champions League were impressive.

Osimhen scored 31 goals in 39 appearances and he's now attracting interest from the Premier League, with Erik ten Hag among the managers in the division actively considering a bid for the striker in the summer window.

Chelsea are also interested in Osimhen and he's expected to leave Napoli following the departure of manager Luciano Spalletti.
