England striker Marcus Rashford has signed a new Manchester United contract until 2023

Marcus is a shining example of the talent that our academy produces and his upbringing means that he truly understands what it means to play for Manchester United.

‘Despite being only 21 years old, Marcus already has great experience. He has a fantastic future ahead of him with the club and I am delighted that he has signed a new contract.’

Marcus Rashford became one of Manchester United’s biggest earners on Monday — signing a £200,000-a-week, four-year contract worth £42million.
The 21-year-old England striker, an academy product, sealed the deal with the option of an extra year potentially keeping him at Old Trafford until 2024.
Rashford’s wages have increased from around £80,000 a week after a breakthrough in negotiations this summer.
Lukaku arrived back at pre-season training early on Monday, a couple of days ahead of his anticipated return.

The Belgium international is waiting for progress over his switch to Inter, with the Serie A club so far unwilling to match the £80m United are expecting to recoup.
Everybody here deserves much, much more than what we’re giving them right now — not only the fans, the club itself.

‘As players, we’re the ones who have the opportunity to try and forget about the past five, six years and put the club back on track.’

Rashford is expected to lead the line during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first full season in charge, with Romelu Lukaku seeking a move to Inter Milan.

‘Marcus is one of the most talented English players of his generation,’ said Solskjaer. ‘He is an outstanding player blessed with natural pace and energy.
‘Manchester United has been everything in my life since I arrived here at the age of seven,’ he said. ‘This club has shaped me as a player and a person, so it is such a privilege every time I get to wear the shirt.

‘I want to thank the manager and his staff for everything they have done for me. They are the perfect group of coaches to learn from as I continue my development.’

Rashford added: ‘It hurts every day to see where we are now compared to where we’ve been in the past. There’s nothing I want more than to see the club winning the Premier League again, winning the Champions League again.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
