Marcus Rashford’s Contract Extension
With Marcus Rashford’s current contract set to expire next year, Manchester United took action by activating a one-year extension in December.
However, the club’s intention has always been to secure Rashford’s long-term future, and negotiations for a fresh deal are progressing positively.
Despite the contractual uncertainty, both the club and player have remained calm throughout the process, given Rashford’s strong ties to Manchester United and the city where he was born and raised.
According to The Mirror, the new contract could see Rashford earning a staggering £375,000 per week, surpassing the wages of David de Gea, the current highest earner at the club.

Impressive Form and Revival
The 2022/23 season proved to be a turning point for Marcus Rashford, as he showcased his true potential on the field.
With an impressive tally of 30 goals and 11 assists across all competitions, Rashford established himself as a key contributor to Manchester United’s success.
This remarkable turnaround came after a relatively subdued 2021-22 campaign, during which Rashford found the net just five times.
However, under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag, the forward experienced a revival, rejuvenating his performances and reminding fans of his immense talent.
