Erik ten Hag has indicated that keeping Marcus Rashford on board is crucial for Manchester United. The contract of the attacker, who excels this season under the Dutch manager, expires in mid-2024, so it is very important to the club to start a conversation quickly. Ten Hag even calls that a priority.

Ten Hag and Man United want to prevent that at all costs. “A new contract for Marcus is our priority,” said de Tukker in various English media. “We are busy in the background. Of course we have to keep Marcus on board.”
This season, 25-year-old Rashford scored 22 goals and eight assists for United in 35 official games, while he was never able to provide such figures in previous years. Ten Hag thinks that his pupil has mainly grown mentally. “On the first day I saw him, I told him I wanted to see him smile here. He succeeded because now he is in a happy environment for him.”

In a week’s time, Ten Hag and his team will play in the final of that last tournament against Newcastle United, three days after the European return against Barcelona.
