Erik ten Hag has expressed concern over Marcus Rashford’s recent performance dip at Manchester United.
In a recent statement, the Dutch coach highlighted the team’s disappointment with Rashford’s struggles this season. The English forward, who excelled with 30 goals last season, has faced a tough spell, scoring only once in 15 games and going goalless in the last six Premier League matches.
Ten Hag acknowledges Rashford’s high expectations of himself, emphasizing that both the player and the team are currently unhappy with the situation. Despite the setback, the coach remains optimistic about Rashford’s comeback, stating, “I know he will be back.”
Manchester United’s woes extend beyond Rashford, with the team experiencing nine defeats in 17 games this season. The recent loss to Copenhagen in the Champions League group stage adds to their challenges, leaving them at the bottom of the group.
When addressing the series of defeats, ten Hag expresses disappointment but emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process and managing it to achieve better results. The team’s struggles include three European losses, with Bayern Munich and Galatasaray also claiming victories.
In the Premier League, Manchester United sits in eighth place with 15 points after 11 games, having been knocked out of the EFL Cup by Newcastle United earlier this month.
