Marcus Rashford: Manchester United forward signs new five-year contract at Old Trafford until 2028

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.

Rashford has made 359 appearances and scored 123 goals for the club since making his debut in 2016.

Man Utd football director John Murtough added: “Ever since he joined our Academy 18 years ago, Marcus has epitomised what it takes to succeed as a Manchester United player. He is a brilliant talent but also humble, dedicated and driven.

“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 coaches is the perfect environment for Marcus to continue to develop into one of the best attacking players in the world.”

Evans re-joins Man Utd for pre-season tour

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.

The Man Utd academy graduate, 35, had been training with the U21s while considering his next move following his departure from Leicester at the end of last season.

Man Utd say he has also taken part in a number of first-team sessions and “impressed Erik ten Hag and the coaching staff”.

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.

The centre-back played 198 games for Utd before departing the club in 2015, having won the Champions League, the Club World Cup, three Premier League titles and two League Cups.
