The English striker has been facing difficulties finding the net, managing to score only once in all competitions. His struggles persisted in Manchester United’s recent 4-3 defeat to FC Copenhagen in the Champions League, where he received a red card for stamping on defender Elias Jelert’s ankle.
Reflecting on Rashford’s recent performances, Ten Hag remarked, “He is not happy. We are not happy. He has high expectations from himself. In this moment, he’s not in his best form, but I know he will be back. When the team is playing better, he will play better, he will score goals, I’m confident of that, so yeah, also this season he will improve and score. He’s totally in the team and aware of everything. he will be back on track and it can happen very quickly. Sometimes you only need one game and I’m sure he will get there.”
Rashford, who had an outstanding season last year with 32 goals across all competitions, is currently experiencing an eight-match goal drought, leaving the team lacking in offensive firepower.
Manchester United’s struggles have extended to losing nine out of their first 17 games in all competitions, raising concerns about Ten Hag’s future as the manager. However, he remains focused on the process, expressing confidence that positive results will follow.
“I think we often proved we can, like at Fulham, Brentford, this team can overcome big setbacks, it’s about the end result and we have to win every game, so we are very disappointed. Finally, it’s about the end result and it’s always about a process, thinking about it and then managing the process, which is what I focus on.”
Rashford looks to rediscover his form as Manchester United faces newly promoted Luton Town in the upcoming Premier League match on Saturday.
