Manchester United will support struggling Rashford – Ten Hag

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says Marcus Rashford will be given “support” in a bid to return to form after another disappointing performance in the defeat to Newcastle.

Man United lost 1-0 at St James’ Park on Saturday as Rashford was substituted after just 61 minutes.

The England striker scored 30 goals in all competitions last season, but has managed just two in 18 games this season.

“I know this problem arises and Marcus is investing a lot, we are supporting him and he will get back into shape,” Ten Hag said.

“He works hard and invests a lot. He will come back, he will recover and he will have all our support.”

United have now lost six Premier League games this season and 10 in all competitions. They managed just one shot on target against Newcastle while Eddie Howe’s side recorded 22 attempts, including Kieran Trippier’s free-kick which hit the crossbar.

“Today we have to give credit to Newcastle,” Ten Hag said.

“After the start, where we could have scored with Alejandro Garnacho, they were better than us.

“They were more proactive and we had to fall behind to come back. We gave them a goal and in the end we fought back. We had two good chances but we couldn’t take a point from of the.

“I will talk with my team about the reasons, but we have to do better and, like I said, I’m sure they will understand that, I’m sure they are resilient and they have the character to do it .”
