Real Madrid remain intent on landing Marcus Rashford and will spend £100million to do so, the Sun reports.

With hours left of the January window the European champions are yet to make a move, although the prospect of a bid before next season remains alive, the paper says.

The £60,000-a-week striker, 21, is reported to be holding off signing a new contract and his current terms expire next summer.

However, he may ultimately choose to stay at Old Trafford - Rashford's mood is said to have improved under interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his pay packet could more than treble.

United are said to have secured the services of Anthony Martial until 2024 after the forward agreed an extension, the Daily Mirror reports.

The deal is said to be worth around £175,000-a-week for the France international, 23, and has the option to extend again for another year.

Talks are also expected to take place on extending David De Gea's contract, the paper says.

An extra-year option in the £200,000-a-week goalkeeper's contract has reportedly been triggered, although the club are said to want to keep hold of him.

Marouane Fellaini is one player that could leave Old Trafford on Thursday, who is understood to have agreed a deal with Chinese Super League club Shandong Luneng.

Fellaini signed a new two-year contract at United last summer but is not viewed as a first-choice player by caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

It is not yet clear how much United expect to receive for the 31-year-old and, as the Chinese Super League window is open until 28 February, the deal may be completed at a later date.

Darmian, signed from Torino for £12.7m in 2015, has played just one Premier League minute since Solskjaer’s appointment.

Ashley Young has reportedly decided to sign a one-year extension on his contract to stay at Manchester United despite interest from Inter Milan.

The 33-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, leaving him open to talks to clubs about a free transfer in the summer.

According to The Mirror, however, the winger/right back has now decided to accept United's offer of a one year extension which is set to raise his current £130,000 a week salary.

There's been interest in Matteo Darmian from Juventus and Inter Milan. 

The fullback reportedly wants a move back to Italy but United are waiting for a substantial bid to take him away from Old Trafford.

United have triggered a one-year option on Darmian's contract and want any deal to be a permanent transfer, but are in no rush to sell.

According to Sky Sports News in Italy any move for Darmian is unlikely to happen in this transfer window.
