		</div><p>Eighteen-year-old Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until at least 2020.</p>
<p>United have also moved to tie up the long-term future of a fellow academy graduate Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, who has penned a similar deal.</p>
<p>Rashford&#8217;s new agreement also includes an option to extend for a further year.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am delighted to have signed a new contract,&#8221; the England international told manutd.com.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have always been a Manchester United fan so to be playing in the first team really is a dream come true. I am grateful for having the chance to prove myself.</p>
<p>&#8220;To be able to play football at the biggest club in the world means everything to me and my family.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rashford burst onto the first-team scene in February, scoring twice on his debut in the Europa League against Midtjylland.</p>
<p>The teenager repeated the feat three days later on his first Premier League appearance against Arsenal and went on to score eight goals in 18 appearances.</p>
<p>Rashford also scored within three minutes of his senior England debut in a friendly against Australia on Friday to enhance his chances of going to Euro 2016.</p>
<p>United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward praised the youngster and the progress he has made.</p>
<p>&#8220;Marcus is a naturally talented footballer with great potential,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;He has taken his chances well and has integrated into the first team very quickly.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am delighted that Marcus has signed a new contract. He is at the right club to continue his development.</p>
<p>&#8220;He is still very young and we need to be patient but he is developing in the right way and we believe he has a great future ahead of him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Borthwick-Jackson, who also came through the academy ranks to make his first-team debut against West Brom in November, made 14 appearances and was named United&#8217;s under-21 player of the year.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have grown up at United and have enjoyed every minute of being here,&#8221; said the 19-year-old.</p>
<p>&#8220;Last season was an incredible experience to make my first-team debut and a dream come true for myself and my family.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel it stands me in good stead for continuing my development as a Manchester United player.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will continue to work hard and take advice from the manager and his coaching team to improve with every training session.&#8221;</p>
<p>Woodward added that the progress of the club&#8217;s youngsters was an immense source of pride.</p>
<p>&#8220;Cameron is one of a number of young players to come through our academy to make their first-team debut last season,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is something that our club has always done and promoting the academy and under-21 players is something that makes everybody associated with the club very proud.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m delighted that Cameron has signed his new contract and look forward to seeing him in the squad for many years to come.&#8221;</p>
