Erik ten Hag says he “knows” why Marcus Rashford has suffered a drastic dip in form this season and insisted the Manchester United forward has to take responsibility for getting himself back on track.
Rashford has come in for heavy criticism from some sections of United’s fan base during a disappointing season which has seen the 26-year-old score just eight goals in all competitions.

The England striker got 30 goals last season and at a news conference on Friday, Ten Hag was asked why there has been such a significant drop off.
“That is an interesting question,” Ten Hag said. “He knows, I know. It has to do with himself but also to do of course with the team. I already said our attacking game has improved a lot after the winter.
“But before winter our attacking game was not good enough. I think it’s always the two factors I mentioned; it’s the team and it’s himself. They are of course related to each other.”
