United’s Ten Hag on Rashford: He needs a kick up the backside

Manchester United’s manager, Erik Ten Hag, has shared his thoughts on Marcus Rashford’s performances in a press conference ahead of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester United.

Erik Ten Hag has stated, “Rashford? I think almost every player needs an arm around the shoulder, sometimes a friendly hand or even a kick in the backside. That doesn’t concern me. I want to win, I want to win with my team, to improve it in the right direction. We are here for a project.”

Ten Hag continues to express his commitment to the team’s ongoing project and reflects on their performance in the previous season, “Last season we were moving in the right direction. This season we have not reached the standards we hoped to achieve. That’s the truth. We have had a setback.”
