Erik Ten Hag Delivers A Verdict After Marcus Rashford’s Goal-Scoring Comeback To The Team

According to Sports Bible, After Marcus Rashford scored goals in his comeback to the Manchester United starting lineup against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Erik ten Hag delivered his assessment of the player.

Rashford dominated the news cycle last week, but not for the positive reasons, as his team defeated Newport County 4–2.

A “internal disciplinary matter” was brought up against the England international after he was seen out and about in Belfast earlier in the week before the Newport match.

On Monday, United released a statement saying, “Marcus has accepted responsibility for his actions. This is now closed as an internal disciplinary matter that was handled.”

And on Thursday night, after facing criticism from the media, Rashford made his way back into the United starting lineup for a Premier League match against Wolves. It was only his third touch of the game when he scored.

Ten Hag said of Rashford’s goal to TNT Sports: “Yeah! We’ve scored more goals like that, which was a terrific team effort. After a lengthy build-up and a lot of players involved, we get the switch and score a fantastic goal.

“I think the form is coming,” the Dutchman continued. “He has three goals and two assists in three or four games, so the last games are what you see consistently.”

The star of the show, though, was Kobbie Mainoo, who gave United a thrilling 4-3 victory in the 97th minute with a wonder goal.

Ten Hag commented on the academy graduate’s performance, saying, “He is progressing incredibly.”

“He is quite talented. He is the midfield player of today. He is able to both attack and defend. He is composed and possesses both physicality and intelligence.”

The Dutchman was not entirely satisfied with his team’s overall performance, though.

Ten Hag went on, “I have conflicting emotions, to be honest.

It’s wonderful to see from the observer’s neutral point of view. However, as a manager, you should control it better because, after dominating for an hour, you should be three or four goals ahead. This cannot happen.”
