Ten Hag backs Rashford and Mount

Erik ten Hag has backed Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford to deliver in the new campaign.

Both came under fire in a challenging 2023-24 season as United struggled in the Premier League.

Rashford scored eight goals in all competitions last season compared to 30 in the 2022-23 campaign.

“Rashford can only improve himself, he is capable, he scores so many goals and at a relatively young age, so many goals, so he is capable of it,” Ten Hag told media on Manchester United‘s US tour.

“I am confident and have 100% belief he can do the same as two years ago.”

Mount meanwhile found the net once in 20 outings in all competitions in a first season at the club which proved to be blighted by injuries.

Ten Hag added: “You can’t judge a season because he was injured, so don’t judge him because he was injured but when he is fit he will be a very good player and in a squad you need certain types, you need team players, individuals, and match fit players. He is one of the players and I’m sure he will help the team.”
