Marcus Rashford has signed a new five-year contract that takes him into the band of Manchester United’s highest-paid players. The 25-year-old enjoyed the best season of his eight-year United career in 2022-23, scoring 30 goals, the first player to do so for the club since Robin van Persie a decade before.
That followed a dismal 2021-22 during which his future at the club he joined as a boy was in the balance, with the then interim manager, Ralf Rangnick, stating last March that the forward was free to depart “in the summer”.
