United's are ready to start contract talks with Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw

Manchester United want to enter into contract talks with Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw.
It was previously reported that Bruno Fernandes is close to signing a new five-year contract with a hefty salary worth more than £ 12 million a year.

Fernandes is not the only player interested in signing a new contract, with Rashford and Shaw seen as a valuable asset at Old Trafford despite having uneven seasons.

United's want to move forward with the talks despite uncertainty over the identity of their permanent manager.

Erik ten Hag, Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique and Julen Lopetegui are among the candidates for the post with the club hoping to announce it before the end of the season.

But a players like Fernandes, Rashford and Shaw are considered key members of the squad and the decision to extend their contract comes without the consent of anyone who will be their next boss.
It is said that Rashford has an 'open mind' about his future and is not in a hurry to sign a new contract.

The 24-year-old has had a difficult time this season and lost his place in the England squad for friendly matches against Switzerland and Ivory Coast this month.

Rashford intends to return to United and secure a place in Gareth Southgate's squad for the World Cup, which is expected to start in Qatar in November.
The United academy has scored 93 goals in 297 appearances but has only one year left on his contract.

This season, he has been seen as an insecure player, scoring five goals in 26 matches in all competitions.

Shaw, who attracted England to the European Championships last year, has also had problems in a season in which he has been playing left-back Alex Telles.

Like Rashford, the left-back also has only one year left on his contract at the end of this season.
