Erik ten Hag Issues Marcus Rashford Ultimatum to Regain Top Form at Manchester United
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has laid down a challenge for Marcus Rashford, emphasizing the need for the striker to maintain professionalism both on and off the pitch.
Following a difficult previous season, where Rashford scored only eight goals and faced personal struggles, the 26-year-old has started to find his form again, netting three goals and providing an assist in his last two matches.
Ten Hag noted that while he supported Rashford during his tough times, ultimately, it’s up to the player to take control of his career. “He has to set his life right, his training attitude right, his match attitude right,” Ten Hag stated, reinforcing the importance of discipline outside of training to achieve peak performance.
Rashford’s past issues, including criticism for celebrating his birthday shortly after a heavy derby loss to Manchester City, have been highlighted by Ten Hag as learning experiences.
Despite these setbacks, the United boss commended Rashford’s mental resilience and his ability to fight back from adversity.
As Rashford prepares to lead United’s attack against Crystal Palace, Ten Hag hinted at the possibility of his return to the England squad for the upcoming international break, recognizing the forward’s renewed form. “I think he will always be an option for every manager,” Ten Hag added, suggesting that Rashford’s hard work could soon pay off on the international stage as well.
