Marcus Rashford, what about him?
No less than a blessing-in-disguise, to say the least!
As one season gets over, there arises a new dawn full of hope, desire, and aspirations. That’s when a single presence at Old Trafford makes all the difference to the club, fans, and the owners alike. Marcus Rashford seems to have come of age all too early as the Premier League nears its end. The 18-year old already has to make plans to deal with his massive future which lies ahead of him before he warns other clubs of his prodigious talent as a striker.
Rashford has scored 7 goals in his 12 games for Manchester United so far, despite attempting only 10 shots on target. The youngster has been quite an efficient and a class act for Van Gaal who finds himself in the eye of the storm as time passes holding charge of the Red Devils. Owing to the fact that Man Utd have had a tumultuous season in terms of getting results, the teenager has almost forced Rooney into a deeper position and saved the club’s season from more than just a rainy day with an excellent goal-scoring record. It is due to this sparkling display of performances that Rashford has earned indefinite praise resulting in him being promoted to the first team by LvG in recent matches. The striker has not only earned several admirers along the way but is also at the brink of extending his Old Trafford days for the best.
The prolific forward is set to agree a profitable deal that sees him extending his contract to a worth 10 times of his current offer. According to reports, Rashford will soon enter the final 12 months of his current contract would rather be rewarded for his fine form with a fresh deal worth £14,000-a-week. He currently earns £1,500-a-week with a £5,000 bonus per first team appearance, something that has become a regular feature with Van Gaal.
The teenage starlet has refused to look back in time since his appearance in the Europa League against Midtjylland where he was scored twice on debut for the Red Devils. He has pretty much cemented his presence in the starting United XI by virtue of being Manchester United’s season’s top highlight suggesting reports of him being at the receiving end of bumper deals and a greatly improved contract at Old Trafford.
As the title challenge is over and more than a few fans living in disillusionment over Van Gaal’s permanent appointment as manager, there is very little respite remaining for the already irked United supporters.
Here’s How Rashford’s New Contract Deal Be Like A Fresh Signing?
Marcus Rashford has left no stone unturned in proving that the Red Devils have a promising future with the likes of Martial, Lingard, and Rashford himself. Thus, a sense of belief has been validated due to amazing performances by the young stars throughout the season.
The 18-year old sensation is being backed by everyone since he crushed Aston Villa into the relegation zone by scoring a winner. He has reignited the ‘top-four push’, the only scenario which could save LvG’s post as coach in the future. As toppling as United’s form this year, there still lies the all-so-important FA Cup semi-final against Everton at Wembley. The fans and supporters still believe United could win the FA Cup and finish fourth in the wake of success stories of young stars like Rashford, Martial, Lingard, De Gea and others to get the job done this time round.
Now, this cracker of a deal ensures Van Gaal’s desire of a new signing as it is ten-fold of Marcus Rashford’s existing stature at the club. Given the sweet form he is in along with meaty records eclipsing that of any other European force, according to the officials, it only shows the intent of the deal having more to do with promotion of the best talent at Old Trafford, serving the dual purpose of motivating the youngster as well as incentivizing him as a signing to the dressing room of the Theatre of Dreams like that of any other professional sensation brought over to make a strong impact on the pitch day in and day out to make new world football headlines.
