Marcus Rashford signs new £250,000-a-week deal with Man Utd

Marcus Rashford has signed a new contract at Manchester United, keeping him at the club until June 2023 with the option of a further year.

Rashford’s new deal is understood to be worth £250,000-per-week.

Rashford said: “Manchester United has been everything in my life since I arrived here at the age of seven. This club has shaped me, both as a player and as a person, so it is such a privilege every time I get the opportunity to wear the shirt.

“I want to thank Ole and his staff for everything they have done for me; they are the perfect group of coaches to learn from as I continue my development and look to push on to the next level.

“I will be giving everything I have to help get this club back to where it belongs and deliver the success that our fans deserve.”

Manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer added: "Marcus is a shining example of the talent that our academy produces and his upbringing means that he truly understands what it means to play for Manchester United.

“Despite being only 21 years old, Marcus already has great experience. He has a fantastic future ahead of him with the club and I am delighted that he has signed a new contract.“

Securing the England striker’s long-term future is a major boost for manager Solskjaer, who has told the 21-year-old he will be the first choice centre forward next season, ahead of Romelu Lukaku.

United fly out to Perth for the start of their pre-season tour to Australia and the Far East on July 7, with Solskjaer clearly keen to secure the futures of his star players before their trip.

As reported by Standard Sport on Sunday, United now hope that goalkeeper David de Gea will follow suit.
