Marcus Rashford has recently agreed to a fresh five-year contract with Manchester United, solidifying his position among the club's highest-paid players. This extension comes on the back of Rashford's exceptional performance in the 2022-23 season, where he netted an impressive 30 goals. It's worth noting that Rashford became the first player since Robin van Persie, a decade ago, to achieve such a feat for the club.
Rashford's new contract marks a significant turnaround for the forward, as his future at Manchester United seemed uncertain just a year prior. During the previous season, 2021-22, interim manager Ralf Rangnick openly stated that Rashford had the freedom to leave. However, under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, Rashford flourished and showcased his true potential.
This long-term commitment from Manchester United to Rashford not only demonstrates their faith in his abilities, but also ensures that he can continue to contribute to the team's success for years to come. Speaking to the club, Rashford said: “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 … I can feel the same determination around the dressing room. I couldn’t be more excited for the future under this manager.”
On the same day as Rashford's contract extension, Manchester United also secured the services of Jonny Evans on a temporary agreement. Evans, a defender who initially developed at United and accumulated 198 appearances before departing in 2015, will be participating in the upcoming matches against Lyon in Edinburgh this Wednesday and Wrexham in San Diego next Tuesday. As United won't be sending their complete team to Edinburgh, their academy group will be taking on Wrexham.
