Manchester United are set to make Marcus Rashford the highest earner at the club by almost doubling his weekly wages.

The English international currently earns a basic salary of £200K-a-week, but the new offer from the club could make him the highest-earning member of the squad as the Red Devils are planning to swap his salary with David Gea, who makes £375,000-a-week, according to The Sun.

Rashford has one more year left on his current contract after the club decided to trigger a 12-month extension option. They now want to offer him a five-year contract extension which will see the player earn an extra £8.4million-a-year over five seasons.

De Gea, on the other hand, is currently out of contract, and while the club is ready to offer a new deal, they want to reduce his wages to £200K-a-week from £375,000-a-week.
