Manchester United star Marcus Rashford is waiting to see what happens with a potential takeover before deciding on a new Old Trafford contract, according to reports. The England international has been outstanding this season, netting 27 goals across all competitions. However, his long-term future with the Red Devils is uncertain – with the forward attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
According to The Sun, Rashford is ready to hold off committing his future to United until the club’s new owners are confirmed.
The Glazers confirmed back in November they were open to a potential sale, with the likes of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim showing interest.
But with the Americans yet to make a final decision over whether to stay at Old Trafford or pack their bags and go, uncertainty now surrounds the club.
United are said to be keen to enforce a wage cap of around £200,000 a week to avoid the issues that have damaged the dressing room since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.
But with Rashford expected to sign the biggest deal of his career so far, his camp are ‘ready to be patient’ to see what else their client may be offered.
Rashford’s current deal is due to expire in 2024 after the club triggered a one-year extension in his current contract.
And as the end of the season creeps closer, the England international is primed to play a starring role.
United sit third in the Premier League table, meaning they’re poised to return to the Champions League after a one-year absence.
They’re through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League with Sevilla, who eliminated them from that competition in 2020, next up.
And United are also in the last four of the FA Cup, too, having beaten Fulham 3-1 before the recent international break.

Speaking recently, meanwhile, Robin van Persie hailed Rashford for his electric displays for United this season.
“Yeah, you can see he’s having maybe the best form of his life,” said the Dutchman, who won the Premier League title with the club back in 2013.
“The way he plays, he looks very fit. He looks very focused.
“He looks to have fun. He’s on a mission now. Everyone knew from an early age, because he broke through from a very early age, everyone knew how good of a player he was – and still is of course – but now you see that everything clicks, and that is partly down to him, but as well a coach, and, as well, your team-mates.
“If you look at the connection he has with Fernandes for example, that is something unique.
“You only have that connection with a few players throughout your career. And he has that now. He is like going from strength to strength.”
Van Persie added: “From a coach’s point of view, it looks really fun to work with a player like Rashford.
“But it goes both ways. I’m sure Rashford is really happy with Erik [ten Hag] as well.
“You can see he’s growing, he’s confident; with him, you know almost every game he plays, it doesn’t matter against who, that he will score a goal or be decisive in most matches.
“From a fan point of view, it is fun to watch as well, because this is the Rashford we would like to see every week, every three or four days, so he is bringing a lot of joy.”
