Erik ten Hag sends message to Manchester United fans over this struggling Man United star

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has urged the Manchester United fans to be patient with Marcus Rashford after our Premier League defeat against Crystal Palace.

The England international has been heavily criticised for his poor form and performances, having scored just one goal in the eight games this season.

Despite averaging over four shots per game across all competitions this season with an xG of over 2.5 so far this season, the striker has failed to lived up to expectations.

Speaking in his press conference after the fixture, Ten Hag admitted that Rashford is not playing at his maximum level – but has urged for patience.

“It will come but it’s not coming automatically,” he said on Marcus Rashford after the game.

“He has to invest a lot, the team has to invest a lot around him. Today we were in good positions but we made the wrong decisions.”
