Rashford’s Goal Drought Finally Ends, But Can He Sustain the Form?
Erik ten Hag has given a vote of confidence to Marcus Rashford, stating that the Manchester United forward can rack up the goals after ending his drought in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Southampton. The Dutch manager used a quote from Cristiano Ronaldo to describe Rashford’s goal-scoring potential, likening it to a ketchup bottle that once it starts flowing, it doesn’t stop.
Rashford’s much-needed goal was his first in 12 games, and it came at a crucial time for the England international. The 25-year-old had faced significant criticism for his performance against Liverpool before the international break, which saw him lose his place in the England setup. However, ten Hag believes that Rashford’s hard work and dedication will pay off, stating that he’s been playing well and creating chances, only to be denied by the goalkeeping.
The Manchester United boss also praised Rashford’s age and the number of goals he’s scored for his age group. He believes that this is just the start of a successful season for the forward, and that once he gets into the rhythm, he’ll be unstoppable. "To get into the season for every striker, it is so important to be on the scoresheet so you can build momentum, build belief and then more goals can come," ten Hag said.
It’s clear that ten Hag is backing Rashford to regain his form and become a key player for Manchester United. But can he sustain this momentum? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, though – Rashford’s goal will give him a much-needed boost in confidence, and he’ll be looking to add to his tally in the coming games.
