Erik ten Hag has certainly had an impact at Manchester United during his first season at Old Trafford.

The Dutchman managed to end the club’s long wait for a piece of silverware as the Red Devils overcame Newcastle in the Carabao Cup at Wembley last month. In the meantime, United are also firmly embroiled in a battle to earn a place in the Champions League next term.

With that all being said, it appears that the planning for next season has already kicked off in earnest. Get updated with all of the latest Man United headlines coming out of Old Trafford below:

Rashford delays contract decision

Felix could potentially be signed as a replacement for Marcus Rashford who is ready to wait for the club’s takeover saga to conclude before putting pen to paper on a new long-term contract with the club.

The striker has just under 18 months left to run on his current deal at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are keen to tie him down to improved terms sooner rather than later.

According to reports, Rashford and his advisors wants to know what any of United's prospective new owners would be willing to pay the Red Devils academy graduate before making any concrete decisions over his long-term future.

Ben Foster makes Wrexham admission

On the topic of wages, former United stopper Ben Foster has insisted he is only earning "peanuts" at Wrexham after coming out of retirement to join the National League leaders.

The goalkeeper left Watford at the end of last season and went into retirement, despite being linked with moves to Newcastle and Tottenham. But the 39-year-old has now reversed course to join Phil Parkinson's title-chasing side.

Speaking on The Fozcast Podcast, he said: "Wages wise, it’s literally peanuts… the part for me is getting the team over the line and getting them promoted. I'm a very low maintenance player. Just wheel me out, I'll do a job."
