Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has expressed confidence that Marcus Rashford can score 20 goals in the Premier League. Although Rashford has not met that goal, he has been in excellent form this season, scoring 17 goals in the Premier League and a total of 30 goals in the game. The striker's performances helped United secure a Champions League place and reach two domestic cup finals. Rashford's skill and form led his team-mate Phil Jones to call him the "best player in the world" at the time.
However, Marcus Rashford has changed a lot over the past year. United have struggled and the team's recent goal has coincided with Marcus Rashford's slump in form. He has scored just two goals for the team this season and has not started in the Premier League since December. Tehag admits Rashford is unhappy but says it's up to the players to take responsibility and improve their performances.
With United's results slipping, the relationship between Marcus Rashford and Te-Hag is coming under increasing scrutiny. The manager had previously criticised Rashford for throwing a birthday party after the defeat, calling it "unacceptable". Marcus Rashford has spoken about Te Hach's high standards and the consequences of breaking the rules. Rashford's slump this season mirrors his disappointing 2021-22 run under Ole Gunnar Solskj, who scored just four Premier League goals. He attributed his predicament to his mental state and praised Ter Hag for bringing a different energy to the club. It will be interesting to see if Rashford can regain his form and help United turn things around.
