MARCUS RASHFORD is set to become Manchester United's highest-paid player after agreeing on a lucrative new contract.
SunSport revealed in June that the Red Devils are planning a wage to give Rashford a new bumper contract.
This would instantly make the England international, 25, the biggest earner in Erik ten Hag's squad on £375,000 a week.
Rashford will sit £25,000 above Casemiro and Jadon Sancho and £35,000 above Raphael Varane - the only other Man Utd stars breaking the £300,000-a-week mark.
Anthony Martial and Bruno Fernandes earn £250k and £240k respectively, with all other United players on or below £200k.
Rashford's wage boost would rocket his salary by an extra £8.4million-a-year over five seasons — with United holding a 12-month extension option.

Sources close to him insist he sees his future at Old Trafford, and Ten Hag has always been confident a deal will be agreed.
It comes following a sensational season for the Manchester-born forward.
He contributed 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 appearances for United during the 2022/23 campaign.
But Rashford's delight is bad news for De Gea.

The Spaniard, 32, who could find himself as the No2 by the start of next season, is set to drop down the wage table significantly.
A £200,000-a-week salary would see him fall to joint-seventh alongside Brazilian winger Antony.
Everton’s Jordan Pickford is being linked with a move to become United's No1 in between the sticks.
Meanwhile, towards the bottom of the Man Utd earnings are the likes of Tyrell Malacia, Scott McTominay and Diogo Dalot.
