Marcus Rashford rebukes £500k per week contract tweet, points out twitter article as false

Manchester United's superstar, Marcus Rashford had denied the rumours flying around about any discussion regarding his future at Manchester United.

Following a post on a Manchester United's fan page on twitter which claimed that the 25 year old is set to demand for a £500 thousand per week wage from the Manchester based club. The academy graduate was quick to refute the tweet as false before underlining his objectives with the club.

"Marcus Rashford is hoping to land a new contract with Manchester United worth more than £500,000 -a-week," @UtdPlug tweeted.

The 25 year old immediately replied the tweet saying " Before this one starts to do the arounds! It's complete nonsense. The club and make self have been respectful to one another, and that's how it will remain. My focus is purely on finishing as well as possible in the league and winning trophies".

Reports emerging this week claimed that Manchester United superstar Marcus Rashford has reportedly turned down a £400,000-a-week deal from Paris Saint-Germain. The 25 year old was heavily involved in his move to the French giants. However, under the guidance of Eric Ten Hag, Rashford was one of the best forwards in the world that year.

After a season where he scored just 5 goals and 2 assists, he has already scored his 27 goals and this season he has scored 9 goals in just 44 appearances. However, he may have created these figures in the French capital.

Athletic say PSG were prepared to raise £400,000 a week to keep Rashford away from Old Trafford. However, the move did not go ahead as Rashford decided to stay at the club he had attended since childhood.

PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi has also confirmed interest, and he even said he spoke with representatives from Rashford this summer. He even hinted that they could make another smack for Marcus Rashford when his contract expires in the summer of 2024. 

"He’s another player who’s amazing and for free? To have Rashford for free, every club will run after him,” Al-Khelaifi said before the World Cup. "Definitely, we spoke before and interest, but the moment was not a good moment for both sides."

"Maybe summer, why not? If he is a free agent, we can talk to him directly. But we are not going to talk to him now and let him focus on the World Cup."

"In January, hopefully, we would be interested in talking to him." United are trying to get Rashford tied down to a new contract and are hoping to trigger a 12-month contract extension to his current £200,000-a-week contract."

Manchester United are reportedly keen to introduce a salary cap that would limit wages to between £200,000 and £300,000 a week, with talks believed to be deadlocked.
