Erik ten Hag backs Marcus Rashford to rediscover his best form at Manchester United

Manchester United Manager Eric ten Hag Throws Support Behind Marcus Rashford

Manchester United manager Eric ten Hag has expressed his unwavering faith in striker Marcus Rashford, stating that he has 100% belief in the 26-year-old’s ability to rediscover his best form. Rashford struggled last season, scoring just eight goals in all competitions, a significant drop-off from his 30-goal haul the previous year.

Ten Hag: "I Have 100% Confidence in Rashford"

Speaking to the media, ten Hag emphasized his confidence in Rashford’s abilities, saying, "He’s capable of scoring so many goals, and already at a relatively young age. So, yeah, I’m confident, and I have 100% belief that he can do the same as two years ago."

United Still Looking to Strengthen Squad

Despite already making two signings in the transfer window, defender Lenny Yoro and forward Joshua Zer, ten Hag confirmed that the club is still looking to strengthen in all positions. "We’re looking in all positions to reinforce, but yeah, we have to be careful and have a plan in place to make sure we always have a squad that’s occupied in every position," he said.

No Thoughts on His Own Position at the Club

When asked about his own contract extension in the summer, ten Hag insisted that he’s not thinking about his position at the club and is focused on challenging local rivals Manchester City. "We’ve proved now that we can beat the best team, not just once, but twice," he said. "But our challenge is to do it consistently, and that’s what we have to work for."

Collaboration Key to Success

When asked if he feels he’s in the strongest position since arriving at United, ten Hag rejected the idea, saying, "I never think about being in a strong or weak position. I want to collaborate, work together with the players, staff, and leadership to achieve success."

United’s Goal: Consistency

With the season ahead, ten Hag is keen to see his team achieve consistency, saying, "We have to prove ourselves, and when we have the right vision, we’ll have even more success."
