He scored 13 goals in all competitions, with ten coming in 33 Premier League appearances. It made it his most successful season in his career.<\/p>\n<h2>What Was Said<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manutd.com\/en\/news\/detail\/marcus-rashford-signs-new-manchester-united-contract\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United club website<\/a>, Marcus Rashford said: &#8220;Manchester United has been everything in my life since I arrived here at the age of seven.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This club has shaped me, both as a player and as a person, so it is such a privilege every time I get the opportunity to wear the shirt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to thank Ole and his staff for everything they have done for me; they are the perfect group of coaches to learn from as I continue my development and look to push on to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will be giving everything I have to help get this club back to where it belongs and deliver the success that our fans deserve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means For The Future<\/h2>\n<p>As a result of his new contract, Rashford will now become a senior figure at Manchester United. This is despite still being just 21-years-old.<\/p>\n<p>His new contract will mean new responsibilities at Old Trafford. If <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/5eae500a\/Romelu-Lukaku\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romelu Lukaku<\/a> departs Manchester United, he may get the opportunity to spearhead the attack. Furthermore, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should consider moulding him into captain material and make him a hero.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Rashford&#8217;s new contract could also have benefits for the England national team. He will likely receive more playing time at Old Trafford and as a result, be more confident on the international stage.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"YFzN22mAS85KTLZNamAGtw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1159397701\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'YFzN22mAS85KTLZNamAGtw',sig:'B47NYEIyzpuGomy68AS_nx0c1_zbVVYrTRZHhzDqcNM=',w:'594px',h:'488px',items:'1159397701',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcus Rashford has put pen to paper on a new four-year contract at Manchester United.
