Man Utd boss Ten Hag: Rashford can be 40-goal a season striker

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag insists Marcus Rashford is capable of scoring 40 goals a season.

Rashford reached 30 goals for the campaign in victory over Chelsea.

"I think yes," said the Dutchman. "There's a lot of room for improvement in his game.

"I am convinced he can score even more. When you take, for instance, the last ten games he didn't score many goals. I think only two or three, so yes he can improve.

"I am happy from what he did last season to now that he brings himself back. We supported him where we could, with the way we play but also in his mental mindset.

"We are happy with that, but we must push him more. I think he's capable of scoring 40 goals in a season. So for him that's the next step."
