Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has signed a new five-year contract at the club, ending speculation over his future.
The England international, who has agreed a deal until the summer of 2028, rejected more lucrative offers from England and abroad to stay at Manchester United. His previous deal expired at the end of the upcoming 2023/24 season.
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 became the first player to breach the 30-goal mark for United since Robin van Persie in the 2012/13 season.
Rashford’s goals last season 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.

Jonny Evans has signed a short-term deal with Manchester United to enable him to take part in the club’s upcoming pre-season games in Edinburgh and San Diego.

Evans, who has been capped 102 times by Northern Ireland, will travel to Edinburgh as part of the group to face Lyon on Wednesday and will then join up with the academy group that will travel to San Diego, while the first-team squad are in New York.
