Marcus Rashford signs new four-year contract extension

Manchester United player, Marcus Rashford, has signed a new four-year contract extension with the option of a further year tying his future to the club.

The 21-year-old joined United as a seven-year-old and rose through the youth ranks, making his senior debut in February 2016, aged 18.

Speaking on his pride at signing the deal, he 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.”

Marcus Rashford has made 170 appearances for Manchester United and won 32 caps for England.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was appointed permanent boss at his former club in March, said Rashford is “one of the most talented English players of his generation”.
