Manchester United confirm Marcus Rashford has signed his new contract with striker putting pen to paper on a £300,000-a-week deal that will keep him at the club until 2028
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.
United will be delighted to secure Rashford’s future after clinching the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea and agreeing terns with Inter Milan for goalkeeper Andre Onana.
It follows more than a year of negotiations during which Rashford’s agent and brother Dwaine Maynard met with Paris Saint-Germain.
The academy product entered the final 12 months of his current £250,000-a-week deal this month and would have been a free agent next summer.
However, it was always Rashford’s preference to stay with his hometown club, and the new contract is set to keep him at Old Trafford through the prime years of his career and into his 30s.
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.
