Erik ten Hag Sets Marcus Rashford 10-Goal Challenge as Man United Star Aims for Return to 2022/23 Form
Erik ten Hag remains determined to see Marcus Rashford return to his prolific form from the 2022/23 season, when the forward scored 30 goals across all competitions.
Last season, Rashford struggled to maintain that level, managing only eight goals.
However, Ten Hag continues to believe in his potential, and set a goal for Rashford to score 10 goals before Christmas in the current campaign.
Rashford’s hard work in pre-season and during the international break paid off as he broke his goal drought with a stunning strike in a 3-0 victory against Southampton, followed by two more goals in the 7-0 win over Barnsley.
Despite being benched for a recent match against Crystal Palace—a decision that led to speculation—Ten Hag made it clear that squad rotation was the sole reason behind it.
With United’s packed schedule, including an upcoming match against Twente, Rashford has many opportunities to hit his target and regain confidence.
The presence of new signings like Joshua Zirkzee, the return of Rasmus Højlund, and the impressive form of Alejandro Garnacho provide a more balanced attack, easing the pressure on Rashford to carry the goalscoring burden alone.
This more supportive environment could help him find his best form again.
