Erik ten Hag backs Marcus Rashford ahead of Manchester United vs Galatasaray

Sandra Martinez will undergo surgery on the foot injury that has kept him out of the United side in recent weeks. It's just the three wins so far this season in the Premier League and United's worst start in 34 years. But Ten Hag knows it can be turned around. Experienced players, they know how to deal with it. It is not the first time that we are in such a situation, that the players we now mention are in this situation because that is a career. It's not only highlights. It's the journey and the journey will go with bumps. Gaps will be in between. Now it's about the character. The character as an individual, the character as a team. What you have to show, how to get out. As you see, there are many positives in the game but also some lags. We have to work on the lags. Keep the positives but work on the lags and the deficits we have in our game. One of those players underperforming is Marcus Rashford. The England international was United's top scorer with 30 last season. For this campaign he scored just one in eight appearances. The facts are that he is not scoring at this moment. But also he had opportunities. For instance, the game against Brighton, he had five or six occasions in a very good spot. If he works hard and if he invests every day and goes in every game with the right focus and if the team also around him supply him and help him, support him with movement, then it will come. Marcus Rashford is a player who is capable, who always has to score goals in every game.
