    Marcus Rashford has fired back at speculations insinuating that he is requesting a £500,000-a-week deal from Manchester United. 

    Rashford has been in magnificent form for Manchester United this campaign with 27 goals in all competitions thus far. 

    But the Englishman would enter the last year of his deal with Manchester United this campaign, implying that he could possibly exit the club on a free if a new contract is not agreed. 

    Information circulating on Thursday asserted that Rashford is holding out for a new deal that is valued above £500,000 a week once bonuses are added.

    But it is believed that Manchester United are hesitant to table a new deal for the English International until the club’s possible takeover matter is sorted. 

    Marcus Rashford, nevertheless, has termed the speculations as “nonsense” and he stated that he has been “respectful” to Manchester United throughout negotiation talks. 

    Replying to the reports on Twitter, Rashford wrote: “Just before this one starts to do the rounds! It’s complete nonsense.

    “The club and myself 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.” 

    The lethal poacher of this campaign also stated on Instagram as he wrote: “Another non-story flying around about my advisers and me making demands.

    “It’s complete nonsense! My aim and the club’s aims are to finish as high as possible in the league and try and win a cup or two.” 

    The 25-year-old has been Manchester United’s main source of goals this campaign and he has not relented in providing the goods when needed.
