In six Premier League appearances this season, Rashford has tallied three goals and two assists, including two in Sunday’s victory over Arsenal. This is the same number of goal involvements as he accomplished in 25 matches last season.
What Did Ten Hag Say About Rashford?
Before United’s Europa League opening against Real Sociedad, Ten Hag was asked to pinpoint what had changed with Rashford.
He responded to reporters: “It’s difficult for me to talk about the past, but I see a happy Marcus Rashford.
“I see some phases in his game which we could improve. We’ve worked really hard in the last two months with him on different aspects. He likes it and wants to transfer it to the pitch, and that is what we see in this moment.

“It started with happiness, he’s coming in every day, he’s smiling with a really positive vibe. If you put all those things together you contribute more to the team performance, the result, and also your development.”
Rashford is in the final year of his agreement at Old Trafford, but United do have the option to extend the 24-year-contract old’s by an additional year.
Ten Hag, who insists Rashford features in his long-term plans for United, added: “I don’t think he is out of contract; I think United are in control of the situation.”
