Erik ten Hag confident Marcus Rashford will be ‘back on track’ soon at Manchester United
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is convinced that star striker Marcus Rashford will soon be back to his best form following a poor start to the season. Rashford had a spectacular 2022-23 season, scoring 30 goals, but has just one goal and three assists in 14 appearances this term. Ten Hag believes that once the team finds its rhythm, Rashford will be back on track.
Rashford Struggling for Form
Rashford’s performances in games have been a concern for United, who are the lowest goal scorers among the top 12 sides in the league. The England international is not the only player struggling for form, with United enduring a miserable run that has heaped pressure on ten Hag.
After heavy back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle United, United travel to Fulham on Saturday in desperate need of a win. Ten Hag is confident that Rashford will soon find his form again.
Ten Hag Confident in Rashford
“I am sure that he will be back on track,” ten Hag told MUTV. “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.”
This week, there have been reports of further unrest in the dressing room with United forced to deny reports they are lining up possible replacements for ten Hag should form not improve quickly.
After their trip to Craven Cottage, United head to Copenhagen in desperate need of a win to keep their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League alive.
“They want to put this right,” ten Hag said in a press conference on Friday. “We know the standards here and we have to make those standards every day. We will fight back. The players are strong, the coaches are strong and the manager is strong.”

Erik ten Hag is confident that Marcus Rashford will soon be back to his best form at Manchester United. Ten Hag believes that once the team finds its rhythm, Rashford will be back on track and make a lot of goals for United.
