Rashford will ‘catch fire’ soon – Man United manager, Ten Hag

Erik ten Hag is confident that Marcus Rashford will regain form soon, despite a disappointing start to the season for the Manchester United forward.

While Rashford scored an impressive 30 goals for United last season, he has struggled to find the net in the current campaign, managing just one goal amidst the team’s lackluster performance.

United manager Ten Hag attributes Rashford’s low goal tally to the overall underperformance of the team, emphasizing that the entire squad needs to improve.

Addressing Rashford’s form on the eve of Manchester United’s home game against Brentford, Ten Hag expressed his belief in the forward’s ability to bounce back.

“That is, of course, the team and him,” he said. “It is both, so I am sure that you are always not at the same levels.

“Of course, everyone knows his qualities but also the opposition knows the qualities.

“We have seen in the last (few) weeks that he is coming in the good positions, now he is struggling, but this will pass because everyone knows his qualities.”

Ten Hag said one goal could boost Rashford’s confidence and spark a scoring spree.

“It will come and he is so experienced, he knows that as well,” said the Dutchman.

“When he is doing the right things and the team is doing the right things, that momentum will come and he will be on fire.”

Rocked by their shock home defeat against Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday, Ten Hag said his faltering team are struggling to find consistency.

“In big parts of the game, I would say, we do a lot of things right. But then we have moments when we are struggling and in such moments, we can’t survive,” he said.

“In those moments you have to do the right things, so be consistent and do your job, be consistent in the communication because when you do that, you keep the right organisation.”
