Erik ten Hag Praises Marcus Rashford’s Display in Manchester United’s Comeback Win Over Brentford
Erik ten Hag praised Marcus Rashford for his outstanding performance in Manchester United’s comeback victory over Brentford.
Despite not scoring, Rashford played a pivotal role in attack, particularly with a precise cross to assist Alejandro Garnacho’s equalizer, which showcased his abilities even while primarily operating from the right wing.
Manchester United went on to secure a 2-1 win at Old Trafford, with second-half goals from Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund overturning Ethan Pinnock’s opener.
Rashford’s contributions, although not directly on the scoresheet, highlighted his growing influence on the team.
His season tally now stands at one goal and one assist in eight Premier League appearances, with four goals and three assists across all competitions.
Ten Hag expressed his delight with Rashford’s display, emphasizing the intensity and commitment he brought to the match.
The Dutch manager noted that if Rashford continues to show such dedication and fighting spirit, his performances will only improve, and he will become even more effective for the team.
The United boss also commented on Alejandro Garnacho’s potential, mentioning that he continues to give the young Argentine more game time because of his goal-scoring ability and threat in one-on-one situations.
Ten Hag stressed that Garnacho’s ability to deliver a consistent end product is crucial for the team’s success, especially after the lack of it in the early games of the season.
As Manchester United prepares to face Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday, both Rashford and Garnacho are expected to play vital roles in Ten Hag’s plans moving forward.
