Marcus Rashford's old contract will last until June 2024 after Man United activated it for another year in December 2022. If he signs a new contract, Rashford's salary could be among the highest in the world at £375,000/week at the age of 25.
Manchester United pay the English striker high salaries not only for what Rashford has contributed greatly in the last season. He is a shining example of morality with activities inside and outside Carrington.
In addition, Rashford is always the point to connect all the instability in the dressing room and always shows the highest professionalism with coach Ten Hag. Rashford is being built to become a true symbol of Old Trafford.
Dwaine Maynard - Rashford's brother and also the representative of Rashford has negotiated a contract with John Murtough. However, up to now, there has been no official announcement from the "Red Devils" although optimistic signals have been everywhere.
In Rashford's new contract that he can sign with Manchester United, the brand will be taken to a new level. Earlier this week, the English striker flew to France to attend a Louis Vuitton fashion show.
This is a collaboration between a famous fashion brand and famous singer Pharell Williams - the creative director of a new brand for men. Rashford's appearances at events like this further enhance the 25-year-old star's image value.
Such events will come more and how to image and share them will certainly be a matter of concern when Maynard negotiates with Murtough.
One of the biggest reasons Rashford should stay at Manchester United is that his position at the moment is very different. Before Ten Hag's arrival, Rashford was always associated with the image of a young player in the training center, loved but never the main factor.
Rashford plays on the left wing, so he is often considered by other coaches to not be the one to score. When Ronaldo appeared, that was even more uncertain for the English striker.
For Ten Hag, Rashford, whether on the left or in the back, is always the one who is given priority to score, which is the biggest change by a coach for the 25-year-old striker. The more Rashford scores, the more Ten Hag encourages and explores more ways to operate so that the squad can support Rashford the most.
The kindness and masculinity in the relationship between Ten Hag and Rashford are also clearly shown. The English striker was late in the match against Wolves last season and had to sit on the bench.
After that, he entered the stadium and everything was as good as usual, the teachers and students still hugged each other to celebrate after the match. A bit of luck for Ten Hag when Rashford in his hands is a much more mature version, it is time for both of them to put work first and make efforts for it.
Before the 2022-2023 season, on the sidelines of his tour to Australia, Rashford said he was feeling at his best mentally and physically. The striker also said that the Man United team is doing better than themselves in the 2021-2022 season.
In the end, that trust was transformed into a good commitment to performance on the pitch, as evidenced by the League Cup title and a ticket to the Champions League.
A new contract with countless incentives is waiting for Rashford, but once he has signed it, he needs to have greater responsibility, commit more and try to complete everything.
