Marcus Rashford has signed a new five-year contract at Manchester United worth a basic £300,000-a-week.
Rashford, 25, will earn £78million if he stays at Old Trafford for the duration of the new deal through until 2028.
The Wythenshawe-born Academy graduate has made 359 appearances and scored 123 goals for the club since making his debut in 2016.
He capped off a fantastic 2022/23 season, in which he scored 30 goals, by winning the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year awards.”
Marcus Rashford said: “I joined Manchester United as a seven-year-old boy with a dream. That same passion, pride, and determination to succeed still drives me every time I have the honour of wearing the shirt.
“I’ve already had some amazing experiences at this incredible club, but there is still a lot more to achieve and I remain relentlessly determined to win more trophies in the years ahead.
“As a United fan all my life, I know the responsibility that comes with representing this badge and feel the highs and lows as much as anyone. I can assure you that I will give everything to help the team reach the level we are capable of, and I can feel the same determination around the dressing room. I couldn’t be more excited for the future under this manager.
The £50,000-a-week pay rise means Rashford will stay as one of the highest-paid English players in the game, with only Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling believed to be earning more.
It’s a reward for the best season of Rashford’s career in which he bounced back from a difficult 2021-22 campaign to become the first United player since Robin van Persie a decade ago to score 30 goals for the club.
Rashford only reported for pre-season training with the rest of United’s international players on Sunday so he will not be involved in Wednesday night’s friendly against Lyon at Murrayfield, having missed the victory over Leeds in Oslo last week.
But he could return to action in Saturday’s opening US tour game against Arsenal in New Jersey.
