Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has set Marcus Rashford a goals target for this season.

Rashford has been in scintillating form for the Reds this campaign, registering 20 goals and eight assists in 33 appearances. The England international - who has scored 12 times since returning from the World Cup - became the first United player since Wayne Rooney to score in six consecutive league appearances at Old Trafford.

Only Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Ivan Toney have scored more than Rashford in the Premier League, and Ten Hag has backed Rashford to score upwards of 30 goals in all competitions this season.

"[There is] much more to come and we have months to play, important months," Ten Hag told club media. "We have to get into a position where we can win trophies, till now, where we are, Marcus has a big impact in this season. I remember at the start of the season, I was questioning can he score 20 goals, now he has that marker, he has scored 20 goals, but now it's about getting more.

"He has to challenge himself to get 30 or 35, but most focus has to be on the next goal and if you be in that focus, you will see where you end up. But most important, finally, is that we win as a team."
