Marcus Rashford has been a mainstay at Manchester United for the last seven years and is set to remain so for the next five at least.
United's star forward put pen to paper on a new contract this week which will see him stay at Old Trafford until 2028, with the option of a further 12 months. Rashford committed his future to the club after a positive season under Erik ten Hag in which he scored a career-high tally of 30 goals.
Rashford has come a long way since making his Premier League debut as a fresh-faced teenager in February 2016. With Anthony Martial injured, Louis van Gaal opted to start Rashford in his first league match against great rivals Arsenal and he jumped at the chance by scoring twice on the way to a 3-2 win.

Goalkeeper De Gea was Rashford's teammate from his first game all the way until his latest game at the end of last season but that streak has now come to an end. The Spaniard has left the club after 12 years upon the expiration of his contract and is now looking for a new challenge.
A return to Spain could be on the cards but he has also been heavily linked with moves to Saudi Arabia, USA and Turkey. Andre Onana has been signed as his replacement.
Guillermo Varela
Right-back Varela had a big hand in Rashford's first goal as it was his dangerous cross into the box that eventually landed at his feet to fire home. It was one of only 11 appearances for the Uruguayan who joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan that summer and left for good the next year.
In the years since he has played for Penarol, FC Copenhagen, Dynamo Moscow and
