Man Utd striker issues defiant message to fans after new contract details revealed

Marcus Rashford has signed a new five-year contract with Manchester United - and he has a strong message for fans.

The England international broke the 30-goal barrier for the first time in his United career last season under Erik ten Hag.

Reacting to the new deal, Rashford said: "I joined Manchester United as a seven-year-old boy with a dream. That same passion, pride, and determination to succeed still drives me every time I have the honour of wearing the shirt.

"I’ve already had some amazing experiences at this incredible club, but there is still a lot more to achieve and I remain relentlessly determined to win more trophies in the years ahead.

“As a United fan all my life, I know the responsibility that comes with representing this badge and feel the highs and lows as much as anyone. I can assure you that I will give everything to help the team reach the level we are capable of, and I can feel the same determination around the dressing room. I couldn’t be more excited for the future under this manager.”

 To date Rashford has made 359 appearances and scored 123 goals for the club since making his debut in 2016. Last season he scored 30 goals and won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year awards.

Meanwhile, club 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.”
