Rashford scored 8 goals in 18 appearances since joining the First Team under now-fired manager Louis van Gaal.
Executive vice chairman Ed Woodward urged patience with the youngster on ManUtd.com:
“Marcus is a naturally talented footballer with great potential. He has taken his chances well and has integrated into the first team very quickly. I am delighted that Marcus has signed a new contract, he is at the right club to continue his development. He is still very young and we need to be patient but he is developing in the right way and we believe he has a great future ahead of him.”
With Rashford and Martial, United has tremendous potential in attack at very young ages. Let’s see if the youngster continues to deliver on this early promise.
