Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has signed a new contract extension - reportedly worth £200,000 per week - to keep him at Old Trafford until 2023.
The 21-year-old England international also has the option of a further year extension after the new four-year term he's signed.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has signed Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka and looks set to field a more youthful United side next season, with Rashford possibly being the spearhead up front.
Romelu Lukaku is still a target for Inter Milan but Rashford, who has already played 17 times for the Red Devils, looked like Solskjaer's preferred option up front at times last season.

Local product Rashford is delighted to have signed a contract extension with his boyhood club.
“Manchester United has been everything in my life since I arrived here at the age of seven," Rashford told the club's website. "This club has shaped me, both as a player and as a person, so it is such a privilege every time I get the opportunity to wear the shirt.
“I want to thank Ole and his staff for everything they have done for me; they are the perfect group of coaches to learn from as I continue my development and look to push on to the next level.
“I will be giving everything I have to help get this club back to where it belongs and deliver the success that our fans deserve.”
Manager Solskjaer lavished praise on his young striker, who will no doubt be hoping to learn off his manager, who was of course a lethal marksman for United in his playing days.
“Marcus is one of the most talented English players of his generation. He is an outstanding player; blessed with natural pace and energy," said Solskjaer.
“Marcus is a shining example of the talent that our Academy produces and his upbringing means that he truly understands what it means to play for Manchester United.
“Despite being only 21 years old, Marcus already has great experience. He has a fantastic future ahead of him with the club and I am delighted that he has signed a new contract."
