July 17, (THEWILL) – Manchester United and Marcus Rashford have reached an agreement on a new five-year contract, which will make him the club’s highest-paid player.
The deal, which comes as no surprise, following positive talks between the two parties, recognises Rashford’s emergence as one of the English Premier League’s most lethal forwards. Even though he received an attractive offer from Paris Saint-Germain, the 25-year-old has consistently desired to stay at Old Trafford. This agreement effectively ends any speculation about his future.
As United gear up for the upcoming season, they have also made progress in bringing in goalkeeper, Andre Onana, from Inter. A fee of £46m has been agreed upon, and negotiations for a five-year contract are underway. Manager, Erik ten Hag, aims to solidify his squad’s foundation for the long term, ensuring stability and continuity.
Meanwhile, Harry Maguire, the former captain and centre-back for United, faces an uncertain future. Ten Hag recently stripped him of the captain’s armband and has given him permission to seek opportunities elsewhere. Despite Maguire’s desire to fight for his place in the squad, he has been advised to consider his options moving forward.
