Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has called on Marcus Rashford to regain his position in the starting lineup after being benched in the recent clash against Chelsea.
Despite scoring 30 goals last season, Rashford has struggled for form in the current campaign, netting only twice.
Ten Hag emphasized the competition for places and expressed confidence in Rashford’s ability to bounce back, citing examples like Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire who earned their spots through improved performances.
Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire, once on the brink of leaving Old Trafford, have experienced a remarkable resurgence under Erik ten Hag.
Despite facing uncertain futures during the summer, the duo has become instrumental for Ten Hag’s Manchester United. McTominay, particularly, has been consistently starting since his crucial brace against Brentford in October, while Maguire’s solid performances have kept Raphael Varane out of the starting lineup.
With Marcus Rashford temporarily dropped, youngsters Alejandro Garnacho and Antony seized the opportunity to impress against Chelsea.”
