Man Utd boss Ten Hag: Rashford can be better in training

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is confident Marcus Rashford will rediscover his best form.

Rashford is currently out of Ten Hag's starting XI.

“He was ill last week, so that's why he didn't start against Bayern Munich and also why he didn't start against Liverpool," Ten Hag told reporters ahead of facing West Ham today. "Also, I must say that Garnacho is doing very good in the last month, so there's internal competition.

"I'm always very supportive of players and I know, especially front players, they need more trust and support from a manager.

“I have a strong belief in Hojlund and in Rashford that they are capable of scoring a lot of goals. Rashford, last year under me, proved he can score many goals when he's at his best—he will score many goals.

“I have a similar feeling and opinion about Hojlund, because he has shown in the Champions League, at the highest level, that he's scoring goals. We have to work as a group, as a team, on our attacking game, but they are capable of scoring a lot of goals."

Ten Hag added: “He's training well. It can always be better, but I think he's such an experienced player.

“He's mid-20s, but he's a very experienced player, and he knows how top football works.

“He knows he has to take the responsibility and I'm sure he will do that and he will line up himself."
