Manchester United Transfer News: Marcus Rashford, Jorge Mendes, Latest Rumours

Football agent Jorge Mendes reportedly wants to add Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford to his list of clients amid speculation the youngster is hoping to appoint someone to represent him in contract talks with the club. 

According to the Times (h/t Joe Short of the Express), the 18-year-old is set for a new deal at the end of the season and Mendes—who also represents the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, David De Gea and Jose Mourinho—wants to help the youngster as he “believes he is best placed to help Rashford maximise his earning potential at this flourishing stage of his career.”

Meanwhile, according to the Daily Mail’s Chris Wheeler, Rashford is seeking an agent to represent him as his affairs are currently dealt with by his mother and brothers.

The striker is expected to receive a much-improved deal on his current £1,500 per week pay packet after netting seven goals in 13 senior appearances for the Red Devils this season.

Indeed, his emergence has been one of the few highlights of a largely disappointing campaign for United, and of the youngsters to impress in the first team this season he’s perhaps only behind Anthony Martial in terms of impact.

One recent effort was a sublime strike against West Ham United to send United into the FA Cup semi-final, as shared by BT Sport Football:
