The Dutch manager said: “He has to make a decision, so we can only show him that Man United is the best club to be in. He has one-and-a-half years (on his contract) and yes, Rashford will be here for all of that.”
Rashford’s Impressive Season So Far

The 24-year-old has scored eight goals and provided three assists in 19 appearances for his club this season, which includes key goals against Arsenal and West Ham United. Rashford was picked in England’s Qatar World Cup squad because of his impressive performances and was able to make an impact for his national side too.
