The Independent reports that both Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellani are set to be offered new deals by Manchester United in January, with manager Jose Mourinho looking to resolve any contractual issues with key players before they become an issue
Fellani ‘s existing contract runs out in 2018 but is widely expected to sign a new deal which represents something of a turnaround for someone who was seen as a bit-part player at the start of last season. However, he has subsequently become a firm favourite with the United manager because of his tactical discipline and ability to carry out instructions.
By contrast, Rashford who is still only 19, signed a 4-year deal last year, but is being offered a new contract by the club because they want to recognise his growing importance and contribution to the team.
