"400 more to come" - Manchester United star sends message to Marcus Rashford as latter reaches 400 game milestone for the club
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes sent a message to Marcus Rashford as the English forward reached the 400-game milestone for the club. The 26-year-old started his senior career at Old Trafford in 2016 and has been with the Red Devils ever since.
Manchester United's last home Premier League fixture this season, which ended in a 3-2 win against Newcastle United on May 15, marked Marcus Rashford's 400th appearance for the club. After achieving this milestone, the Englishman took it to social media and shared a picture of himself in United's jersey with the caption:
"It's a special feeling to say that I have played 400 times for United. ♥️ Thank you."
Bruno Fernandes commented on Rashford's celebratory post:
"400 more to come 🙌🏼."
Last month, manager Erik ten Hag spoke about the 26-year-old forward's performance this season and said (via Fabrizio Romano):
"This season, Marcus didn't give the performances and people have been very critical. We have to back him and everyone should back him to get back to the levels of last year when he scored 30 goals."
Marcus Rashford, whose contract with the Red Devils is valid until June 2028, has netted eight goals and provided five assists for the club so far this season. He has overall scored 131 goals and won the 2015–16 and 2022–23 FA Cup, the 2016–17 and 2022–23 EFL Cup, the 2016 FA Community Shield and the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League with the club.
