Marcus Rashford is ready to commit to a new Manchester United contract following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s appointment as permanent manager, Sky Sports News understands.

The ball is currently in United’s court, with the England striker waiting for the club to return with an offer following several rounds of positive talks.

Rashford, whose current deal expires in 2020, had become disillusioned under previous manager Jose Mourinho and considered leaving Old Trafford if the Portuguese remained at the helm.

Solskjaer says he accepts that winning the Premier League title is what the club expects

But the 21-year-old is one of a number of players revitalised by Solskjaer’s impact, and he is ready to try and win titles under the Norwegian, who was handed a three-year deal as United boss on Thursday.

Solskjaer is developing a formidable strike-partnership between Romelu Lukaku and Rashford, who recently took his season tally to 12 goals in all competitions in the FA Cup defeat to Wolves.
