Exclusive: Marcus Rashford breaks records with record-breaking mega deal at Manchester United!

Marcus Rashford agrees to five-year deal with Manchester United, rejecting more lucrative offers to stay Last season's top scorer with 30 goals, he commits to the club until 2028 Exciting times at Old Trafford! #MUFC

Manchester United have reached a preliminary agreement with Marcus Rashford for a new five-year contract. The final stages of negotiation for a deal until 2028 are now underway, and the England international is expected to sign, despite turning down more lucrative offers from both domestic and international clubs, in order to remain with Manchester United.

Rashford experienced a resurgence under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag in the past season, bouncing back from a challenging period of 18 months. Consequently, he emerged as Manchester United's leading goal-scorer, impressively netting 30 goals across all competitions. Notably, Rashford becomes the first player for United to surpass the 30-goal milestone since Robin van Persie during the 2012/13 campaign.

Rashford's goals not only aided United in achieving a top-four finish but also paved the way for their return to the prestigious Champions League. This success has further strengthened his conviction that the club, under the guidance of Ten Hag, is moving in the right direction. As a United academy graduate, Rashford has remained loyal to the club since the tender age of seven.
