Marcus Rashford has been one of the beneficiaries of Erik Ten Hag’s arrival at Manchester United, with the England international returning to his best form under the new manager.

His contract with the club was set to expire at the end of the ongoing 22/23 season, but United have triggered an automatic extension option that they had. Which means that he has been tied down until 2024, but the club wants to keep him as part of the future project beyond the coming year.

The forward was very productive with England during the 2022 World Cup, and was one of the standout performers. Erik Ten Hag himself has been very appreciative of the youngster, and wants to keep him at all costs.

Marcus Rashford is an academy graduate of Manchester United, and is strongly attached to the club. And his desire is to continue his stay at Old Trafford for the foreseeable future.

Now that the World Cup is over, and club football is set to resume, contract talks surrounding his future will also take place very soon.

Manchester United are also planning to have concrete talks with Diogo Dalot over a new contract. The Portuguese right-back has also extended his deal until 2024, but a renewed long-term deal is in the works for him as well.
