Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is returning to his best form after taking control of his career, manager Erik ten Hag says.

Erik ten Hag says it was ‘not a difficult decision’ to drop Marcus Rashford from his starting XI to face Crystal Palace as Manchester United have to ‘rotate’ their attacking players this season. Rashford failed to find the net in United’s opening three games of the Premier League season but got off the mark with a curled effort past Aaron Ramsdale in the side’s 3-0 victory at Southampton last weekend.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is delighted with Marcus Rashford's recent goal-scoring form and that the striker appears to have regained his confidence.
