Marcus Rashford has signed a new
contract at Manchester United which
keeps him at the club until at least
June 2020 with an option to extend for
a further year.

Rashford,18, came through the
ranks of our academy and was
handed a first-team debut for the
Europa League game against
Midtjylland.

He grabbed his opportunity with
both hands by scoring twice, a feat
he remarkably repeated three days
later on his first league appearance
against Arsenal. Marcus has made
17 appearances and scored 8 goals.

Executive vice chairman Ed
Woodward said:

“ Marcus is a naturally talented
footballer with great potential. He
has taken his chances well and has
integrated into the first team very
quickly.

I am delighted that Marcus has
signed a new contract, he is at the
right club to continue his
development. He is still very young
and we need to be patient but he is
developing in the right way and we
believe he has a great future ahead
of him.”

Marcus Rashford said:

“ I am delighted to have signed a
new contract. I have always been a
Manchester United fan, so to be
playing in the first team really is a
dream come true. I am grateful for
having the chance to prove myself.

To be able to play football at the
biggest club in the world means
everything to me and my family.”
