Ten Hag Backs Rashford To Rediscover Best Form After Lifestyle Changes
Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag is optimistic Marcus Rashford is getting back to his best after making adjustments to his lifestyle.
Rashford scored 30 goals across all competitions during Ten Hag's debut campaign in charge in 2022/2023.
But the 26-year-old managed just eight goals last term and was at the receiving end of some disciplinary actions from Ten Hag during the course of the season.
After drawing blanks in Manchester United's opening three league games this season, Rashford was back on the score sheet in the 3-0 win at Southampton last weekend and followed that up with a brace in a 7-0 victory against Barnsley in midweek in the Carabao Cup.
"I think he is on the way back," said Ten Hag ahead of facing Crystal Palace on Saturday.
"He always knew, and every player knows, when your lifestyle is not right, you can't perform. You don't get the right levels when you don't have a good and disciplined life away from [United's training ground] Carrington.
"He needed some help, by backing him, for instance. But he has to do it himself, at the end of the day.
"He has to set his life right, his training attitude right, he has to set his match attitude right. When he sets his professionalism, he will perform because he's a class player."
