Marcus Rashford has walked the road to Manchester United legend as he has decided to sign a new contract.
British media ‘The Athletic’ reported on the 17th (Korean time), “Rashford has agreed to sign a new five-year contract with Manchester United.”
Rashford is one of the greatest talents that Manchester United’s youth system has produced. Rashford, who has played exclusively for Manchester United since he was seven years old, has scored 123 goals in 359 first-team appearances since making his professional debut in February 2016.
Last season Rashford was one of United’s best players. Thanks스포츠토토 to Rashford’s 30 goals in 56 appearances in all competitions in the 2022/23 season, United finished third in the Premier League and qualified for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
At the end of the season, Manchester United’s priority was to renew Rashford. The contract signed between Rashford and Manchester United expires in June 2024, leaving less than a year left on the deal.
Rashford, from the club’s youth and the best player in the team, was a player that Man United had to remain unconditionally, and after long negotiations, he was on the verge of signing a new contract.
‘The Athletic’ explained, “Rashford will commit to a long-term future as he has agreed to sign a new five-year contract with Manchester United.”
“Rashford has received more lucrative offers from other clubs, but he turned them down in order to stay at United, which he has always dreamed of.”
Ahead of signing a five-year contract renewal with Manchester United, Rashford is on his way to becoming a club legend. Rashford currently ranks 25th on United’s all-time appearances with 359 appearances and 11th on the club’s all-time scoring list with 123 goals.
Rashford, born in 1997, is only 26 years old and could break the club record for most appearances and goals if he continues to play for United over the next few years.
Of course, breaking Ryan Giggs’ record of 963 appearances, who ranks first for Manchester United, seems a bit difficult, so fans are looking forward to breaking Wayne Rooney’s 253 goals as Manchester United’s top scorer.
Attention is focusing on whether Rashford, who is preparing to join the ranks of Manchester United legends, will be able to engrave his name in the history of Manchester United as he continues to play an active role even after his contract renewal.
