Rashford agree new 5-year deal in principle with Man United

Manchester United have reached an agreement in principle with Marcus Rashford over a new five-year contract.

A deal until 2028 is in the final stages of negotiation and set to be signed by the England international, who rejected more lucrative offers from other clubs to stay at Manchester United.

Rashford was rejuvenated under manager Erik ten Hag last season after a difficult 18 months and went on to be United’s top scorer with 30 goals in all competitions.

The 25-year-old is the first player to breach the 30-goal mark for United since Robin van Persie in the 2012/13 season.

Rashford’s goals helped United secure a top-four finish and a return to the Champions League, which has helped convince him the club is on the right path under Ten Hag.

The United academy graduate has been at the club since he was seven.
