Marcus Rashford signs new five-year contract at Man United with big salary increase

Marcus Rashford has committed his long-term future to Man United as the 25-year-old has signed a new five-year contract at the Manchester club.

The forward was set to enter the final season on his contract and would have become a free agent next summer but the Englishman has decided to stay at Old Trafford and put pen to paper on a new deal that will see him earn a basic £300,000-a-week – an increase on his current £250,000-a-week salary.

Rashford is coming off the back of a brilliant season under the leadership of Erik ten Hag and the England international was named the club’s player of the season.

To date, the Man United academy graduate has made 359 appearances for the Red Devils and has scored 123 goals for the club since making his debut in 2016. Rashford will be one of the stars spearheading United’s charge back to the top of the Premier League as the remainder of his prime will be in a red shirt.
