Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is convinced Marcus Rashford will soon be back to his devastating best, based on the hard work and quality he is displaying in training.

Our homegrown no.10 produced the best season of his career so far during Ten Hag’s first campaign in charge, racking up 30 goals and 11 assists from 56 appearances across all competitions. 

Rashford was later voted our Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year by fans, and, in a sign of his immense contribution, he was also named our Players’ Player of the Year.

United and Rashford are working hard every day to improve recent performances, as the squad continues to manage a list of injuries across key positions. 

Ten Hag is also convinced that improvement is coming across the board. 

In particular, the manager is adamant that Marcus will soon shine again and he has been impressed by his efforts at Carrington, as he explained during an interview with MUTV’s Mark Sullivan on Friday afternoon.

When asked about Rashford’s quality and importance to the team, Ten Hag told us: “Absolutely. And, also, I am sure that he will be back on track. 

“I see him in training performing so well so I think that before long, he will be back on track. He will make a lot of goals for us and he will be so very important for us. 

“Once we find our rhythm, once the team finds its rhythm, it is also easier for him.”

Rashford and the Reds are currently preparing for an important Premier League match against Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
