'Forever red' - Marcus Rashford sent message as he signs new Manchester United contract

Marcus Rashford has signed a new long-term contract with Manchester United and supporters could not be happier.

The academy graduate has been a regular presence in the United side since breaking into the first team in 2016 under Louis van Gaal. After a difficult 2021, Rashford roared back to his best form under Erik ten Hag last season and scored a career-high tally of 30 goals.
