Sources close to Rashford insist the striker is focused on having a successful end to the season but representatives expect to make a step forward in negotiations before the end of the campaign.

United, according to sources, would like to reach an agreement by the end of the year and ideally by the start of next season.

French champions Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in Rashford in the past but the 25-year-old is expected to stay at United, where he is enjoying the best season of his career under Erik ten Hag.
