Marcus Rashford poses for touching family snaps in ‘This Is Home’ shoot after signing new £325k Man Utd contract
MARCUS RASHFORD celebrated his whopping new Manchester United contract by posing for a number of touching family snaps.
The forward has put pen to paper on a new deal worth a staggering £84million.
The Manchester United striker will earn £325,000-a-week for the next five years.
And the club posted several photos of the England star alongside the caption “Family ties” and the words “This is home” after the announcement.
In one of the photos, Rashford’s loved ones placing an arm on his shoulder as he sat in the middle of them, another shows him wearing a huge grin from ear-to-ear as he receives a kiss on each cheek.
And the main image has him sitting down in the middle of the shot on an armchair, wearing a smart jacket and trousers, with his family posing either side of him.
The 25-year-old had flirted with Paris Saint-Germain during long-running negotiations.
And a clutch of mega-wealthy Saudi clubs were waiting to pounce for the front man who blasted back to form last season after suffering two years of injuries with 30 goals in 56 games.
While he always wanted to re-commit himself to the club he joined 18 years ago, he was also determined to vastly increase his £200,000-per-week wage and get something approaching the going rate paid to the game’s biggest names.
However, Rashford’s mega new salary still only makes him the FOURTH highest-paid player at the club, after Casemiro and Jadon Sancho on £350k a week and Raphael Varane getting £340k.

But now his future is sorted, he cannot wait to get down to business on the pitch.
He 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.”
He added: “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.”
United are back in pre-season action this afternoon when they face Lyon in Edinburgh.
