“I am thankful for having the opportunity to substantiate myself,” said Rashford. “To have the capacity to play football at one of the biggest club – Man Utd – in the world means everything to me and my family.” Defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, who like his team-mate – Rashford – had one year left on his arrangement, also extended his contract with Man Utd, which means he will also stay at the club until 2020. There is a choice to augment both arrangements by a further year.

The 19-year-old Borthwick-Jackson played 14 games under Louis van Gaal this season. Van Gaal was fired two days after Man Utd’s victory in FA Cup final against Crystal Palace and has been replaced by ex-Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho. Rashford has been spoken to in arrangements by relatives, with guidance from Chris and Wayne Welbeck, siblings of ex-United forward Danny, who now an Arsenal player.
