Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, was pleased with Rashford’s performance and expressed his confidence in the player. He believes that Rashford is working well with Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho in the front three. Ten Hag praised the entire team for their performance and emphasized the importance of providing service from the back to create threats for the opposition.
When asked about Rashford needing his goal after a turbulent few days, Ten Hag acknowledged its significance but also highlighted that it was a fantastic team goal. He pointed out that Rashford has been consistently performing well in recent matches, with three goals and two assists in three or four games.
Before the match, Ten Hag had kept his comments on Rashford’s disciplinary issues brief, stating that the case is closed. It seems that both the club and player are keen to move on from the incident and focus on their performances on the pitch.
Overall, it was a memorable comeback for Marcus Rashford and Manchester United. The team showed resilience and determination to secure a crucial victory. With Rashford back in form and the support of his teammates, there is no doubt that Manchester United will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in future matches.
