Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has signed a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2028, with an attractive weekly salary of £325,000. Negotiations between Rashford and the club have been going on for a considerable amount of time, as his previous contract was due to expire in 2024.
Under new coach Erik Ten Hag, Rashford experienced a remarkable resurgence last season, scoring 30 goals in 56 games. Since his debut against Midtjylland in 2016, the 25-year-old has scored an impressive 123 goals in 359 games for his beloved club.

It is passion, pride, and determination to achieve that success that continues. continues to inspire me every time I have the honor to put on the iconic shirt. Although I have had incredible experiences at this venerable club, there is still much to be achieved and I will not stop. committed to winning more titles in the years to come.”

Rashford stressed: “I assure you that I will give my all to help the team reach its full potential and I feel the same determination in the dressing room. I couldn’t be more excited about the future. under this coach”.
Rashford has faced challenges both on and off the pitch throughout his career. After missing a penalty in the Euro 2020 final against Italy, he along with two other England players became victims of racism. Furthermore, he underwent shoulder surgery in August 2021, which affected his form and resulted in a modest total of 5 goals during the season. As a result, he was dropped from Gareth Southgate’s England squad for four Nations League matches in June 2022.
However, Rashford’s fortunes took a turn for the better last season, especially after the World Cup, where he scored 10 goals in as many Premier League games as the league restarted. He played a key role in helping Manchester United secure a Champions League spot and even scored in the Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle United.
John Murtough, Manchester United’s director of football, hailed Rashford as the embodiment of the qualities needed to succeed at the club. Murtough commented: “He’s an outstanding talent, but he rҽmains humble, dedicated, and motivated. As he enters his prime years, we believe he still has much to do. do and we can see the desire Marcus possesses to achieve the highest level of success at Manchester United. Partnership with Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff provides the ideal environment for Marcus to thrive. further, develop to become one of the best-attacking players in the world.”
