WHAT IS MARCUS RASHFORD'S NET WORTH AND HOW MUCH DOES THE MAN UTD STAR EARN?

The striker has been a regular in the Red Devils team since breaking through in 2016, but how lucrative has his rise to stardom been? Article continues below Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford burst onto the scene in 2016 and he is now considered to be one of England's best young players, with an abundance of potential. 


His stock sky-rocketed following his sudden arrival into the team at Old Trafford, with his performances earning a fresh contract and a call-up to the England national team. 


Now into his third season with the Red Devils, Rashford can already say he has won the League Cup, the FA Cup and the Europa League, as well as the Community Shield. 


However, his career has slowed down somewhat, leading to suggestions that he may even move on from the club where he graduated through the ranks. So how much has his brief career been worth so far? Goal takes a look at how lucrative Rashford's football journey has been. 


How much does Rashford earn? A product of the club's youth system, Rashford signed a four-year contract with the Red Devils in 2016 at the age of 18 that was reported to be worth £20,000 a week. 


That deal, which runs until the summer of 2020 with an option to extend, is said to include clauses that will see the forward gradually earn more. 


While £20k is no small sum, it undoubtedly at the lower end of the spectrum at Old Trafford, with stars such as Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez drawing down weekly salaries in the hundreds of thousands. 


There has been speculation that Rashford is set to receive a new deal with a pay rise, but that has yet to be confirmed. 


However, if we take £20k a week as his basic salary, before bonuses etc., we can say that Rashford earns just over £1 million per year, which isn't so bad at just 20 years of age. 


Time frame Earnings Per second 3p Per minute £1.98 Per hour £119 Per day £2,857 Per week £20,000 Per month £80,000 Per year £1,040,000 What sponsorship deals does Rashford have? Rashford is a Nike athlete and, since his breakthrough at Old Trafford, he has featured in a number of the sportswear brand's promotional campaigns. 


Along with Tottenham's Harry Kane and Manchester City's Raheem Sterling, he is one of England's top Nike footballers and his stature with the brand is perhaps illustrated by the fact that he has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Gonzalo Higuain and Edinson Cavani in advertisements. 


As well as Nike, Rashford is a 'McDonald's Football Ambassador' and in December 2017 he took part in a promotion that saw him return to his former club, Fletcher Moss Rangers to distribute brand new kits. 


He has also worked closely with EA Sports in the promotion of their FIFA video game series. What businesses does Rashford have? At just 20 years of age, Rashford is only at the beginning of his career in football, so he can be forgiven if long-term business interests are not to the front of his thoughts right now. 


However, like many footballers, he does appear to have set up a property business, suggesting that he will invest some of his earnings into that industry. 


Of course, there is still plenty of time for him to follow in the footsteps of other footballers by venturing further into the realm of business. 


How many social media followers does Rashford have? Rashford's social media presence is formidable for a player of his age, but it is probably not surprising considering that he is playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. At the time of writing, the England international has 4.1m followers on Instagram , a platform that he updates regularly, giving an insight into his lifestyle; which appears to include plenty of social time with team-mate Jesse Lingard. 


Instagram is by far his most popular platform, with his official Twitter and Facebook pages not yet breaking the one-million mark in terms of followers. 


Rashford has 904k followers on Twitter and his Facebook page is liked by around 543k people. What is Rashford's net worth? As mentioned, given that Rashford is only at the beginning of his career - he has only been in the United first-team for around two years - he has not had the time required to amass wealth. 


Aside from his salary at Man United, details of his wealth are not exactly clear, but his various endorsements, particularly with sportswear giants Nike, are sure to be worth plenty of money. British finance magazine Spear's estimates Rashford's net worth to be around £65m, which is quite impressive, even if it seems a tad unrealistic considering his youth. 


A clearer picture will undoubtedly emerge in the coming months and years as he earns more money through new, more lucrative contracts, but right now he appears to be doing quite well.

Champions league: What I told Willian before he scored against Barcelona – Hazard

Chelsea forward, Eden Hazard has revealed what he told teammate, Willian, shortly before the Brazilian scored against Barcelona in the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday. 


 Willian broke the deadlock at Stamford Bridge on the 62nd minutes, with a crisp strike past Barcelona’s goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen. 



 Willian’s strike – which was cancelled out by Lionel Messi 13 minutes later – came after he hit the post twice in the first half. Hazard told Chelsea’s official website, “I said to him [Willian] that he needed to shoot in the goal and not try to touch the post. 


 “I said that to him in the first half and you saw in the second half he scored the goal. I’m happy for him, he played really well. ‘He’s a top player and he showed that.” 


Antonio Conte’s men impressed in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash, but Messi’s goal – his first against the Blues – gave the visitors a crucial advantage ahead of the return leg next month. 


 Hazard added, “[We need to be] more than perfect,’ Hazard said, looking ahead to Chelsea’s trip to the Nou Camp. We want to keep a clean sheet, for sure, and we will need to score if we want to go through. 


 “We have three weeks to be ready for the game and we will give everything.”

Watford Player Faces Ban Again For Giving The Middle Finger After Scoring Against Chelsea (Photos)

Watford striker,Troy Deeneyis facing another four-match ban – which would mean him missing 11 games out of 20 through suspension.Deeney was snapped aiming a single-digit gesture after opening the scoringfrom the penalty spot in the Hornets’stunning 4-1 againstChelseaon Monday night.- Advertisements -And in a post-match radio interview, the Watford captain claimed it was a token of defiance, saying: “Obviously we have had a lot of transfer talk and speculation. I’ve kept quiet because I realise talking gets me in trouble.“That was a case of letting everyone know I saw everything and I am still here.
”But that is unlikely to save him from another brush with the FA’s disciplinary hawks, who could now hithim with a two-match ban for an insulting gesture – plus two more games on top because of his red card against Huddersfield and retrospective suspension for gougingStoke midfielder Joe Allen’s cheeks before Christmas.If Deeney is charged, the Hornets might argue that a four-match ban for a fleeting gesture would be excessive.But he risks missing games against West Ham, Everton, West Brom and Arsenal if the FA throw the book at him.

“We have not seen the best of Joe Willock today because he had a heavy preparation physically and he paid a little bit for it,” Wenger told Arsenal players.
“On top of that, we didn’t have a lotof the ball so he couldn’t show what he can do going forward, but he had a very promising preparation and it’s good for him to have a start at home in front of our fans. I’m sure he’ll have a greatfuture.
”“He needs to play regularly for the under 23s and gain a little bit morephysical power.
He’s only 17 and that’s very young, but he has a good football brain and analyses very weel.

Manchester United is a huge club with huge responsibility; the Premier League is the same. So let’s give him time, but we’re happywith what he is doing, step by step.

Reactions trail..... Michael Phelps loss to great white shark

Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympian of modern times, has finally met his match in a swim-off against the greatest predator in the oceans, the great white shark.But many viewers of the Discovery Channel’s much-publicized race between man and beast found the result to be a little fishy.

Touted as “Phelps vs. Shark: Great Gold vs. Great White,” the face-off in the chilly, shark-rich waters off South Africa was the launchpad forthe channel’s annual Shark Week series of shows.

Phelps, who has won 28 Olympic medals including 23golds, noted before the eventthat his safety was the number one priority going into the race, and said beforethe broadcast that he did notactually enter the water with the shark he was racing.

Instead, the film crew shot footage of a shark speeding along the same stretch of water as Phelps, who swam the course at a different timeunder the supervision of marine experts and divers.The filmmakers used specialeffects to splice the two together, so it looked as though the American swimmer was racing alongside the huge predator.

Despite being fitted with a special monofin to help propel him through the water, Phelps lost by two seconds to the shark, which put on a final spurt as it closed in on a seal.
After his narrow defeat, Phelps demanded a rematch.

“Next time… warmer water,” the 32-year-old champion wrote on Twitter.

Many viewers of the show also took to social media to express their disappointment, having apparently believed Phelps would actually be racing a shark in real time.

“Call me crazy but I thought they were gonna put Phelps up against a real shark not a simulation.
I feel robbed,” said a Twitter user who goesby Meg Conley.

Another scornful Twitter user posted footage of a cartoon shark dancing with the caption
“Live footage of Shark getting ready to wipe the floor with Michael Phelps.

”Others, however, expressed surprise that anyone would have believed a real one-on-one between man and shark would have been possible.
