LONDON: Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until 2024, the English outfit announced on Saturday.
The new contract on a reported £250,000-a-week plus bonuses, makes him the highest-paid English player in the Premier League, according to the Independent newspaper.
The 25-year-old agreed a new deal alongside Diogo Dalot, Fred and Luke Shaw with the four players´ current contract up at the end of the season.
The England forward came through United´s academy and was part of his country´s squad that reached this month´s World Cup quarter-finals.
"We want to develop, we want to support those players and we want them to keep in our process," United coach Erik Ten Hag said.
"We want to construct a team for the future, so for longer years, and those players have to be part of it," he added.
Portugal right-back Dalot, 25, joined the 20-time league champions in 2018, 27-year-old England left-back Shaw arrived four years earlier and Brazil midfielder Fred, who turns 30 in March, moved from Shakhtar Donetsk four seasons ago.
Ten Hag´s side, fifth in the table, return to Premier League action following the World Cup break on Tuesday as they host Nottingham Forest.
