Reflecting on his journey, Rashford stated in a club statement, “I joined Manchester United as a seven-year-old boy with a dream. That same passion, pride, and determination to succeed still drive me every time I have the honor of wearing the shirt.”
He continued, “I’ve already had some incredible experiences at this prestigious club, but there is still much more to achieve. I remain relentlessly determined to win more trophies in the years ahead.”
Rashford added, “As a lifelong United fan, I understand the responsibility that comes with representing this badge, and I feel the highs and lows as much as anyone.
“I can assure you that I will give everything to help the team reach our full potential, and I can sense the same determination in the dressing room. I couldn’t be more excited for the future under this manager.” He added.
Last season, under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, Rashford surpassed the 30-goal mark for the first time in his Manchester United career as the club lifted the League Cup, ending a six-year trophy drought.
Commenting on Rashford’s new contract, which will expire on June 30, 2028, Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough, said,
“Ever since he joined our academy 18 years ago, Marcus has shown what it takes to succeed as a Manchester United player. He is a brilliant talent but also humble, dedicated, and driven.”
Murtough continued, “As he enters his prime years, we know there is still so much more to come from him, and we can see the hunger that Marcus feels to achieve the highest levels of success here at Manchester United.”
“Working with Erik ten Hag and his coaching staff provides the perfect environment for Marcus to further develop into one of the world’s best attacking players.” He added.
