Due to the fact that his previous deal was set to expire in 2024, the 25-year-old has been in protracted negotiations with the team. Marcus Rashford, a striker for Manchester United, has agreed to a new contract that would keep him with the team through 2028 and pay him a lucrative £325,000 weekly wage. Since Rashford’s previous deal was set to end in 2024, talks between the player and the club have been ongoing for a while.
Rashford had a tremendous comeback last season, scoring 30 goals in 56 appearances under his new coach Erik Ten Hag. The 25-year-old has scored an astounding 123 goals in 359 games for his cherished club since making his debut against Midtjylland in 2016.
Rashford said of his close relationship with the group: “I joined Manchester United as a boy full of ambitions. The driving forces behind our perseverance are our enthusiasm, pride, and success-oriented attitude. every time I get the privilege of donning the legendary shirt, it continues to inspire me.

Rashford chose to stick with Manchester United despite getting more alluring offers from domestic and international clubs, rejecting the draw of greater financial rewards. The club has his commitment through June 2028, and he expressed faith in Erik Ten Hag’s ability to lead the team to even greater success. Rashford emphasized: “I promise that I will give my all to support the squad in realizing its full potential, and I sense the same resolve in the locker room. I am so enthusiastic about the future under this coach.”
Throughout his career, Rashford has encountered difficulties both on and off the field. He and two other England players experienced racism when he missed a penalty in the Euro 2020 championship match against Italy. Additionally, he had shoulder surgery in August 2021, which had an impact on his performance and led to a season total of only 5 goals. He was consequently left off of Gareth Southgate’s England roster for the four Nations League games in June 2022.
Even more so after the World Cup, Rashford’s fortunes improved last season, and he scored 10 goals in as many Premier League games as the league resumed. He was crucial in helping Manchester United qualify for the Champions League and even scored in the victory over Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.
Director of football at Manchester United John Murtough praised Rashford as embodying the traits required to be successful at the team. He is an exceptional talent, but Murtough noted that he is still modest, devoted, and driven. We think Marcus still has a lot to do as he approaches his peak, and we can sense his passion to help Manchester United reach its pinnacle of achievement. Marcus is in the perfect atmosphere to succeed because to his partnership with Erik ten Hag and his coaching group. improve even farther to become among the world’s top attackers.
