Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is one of the best strikers in Europe at the moment.

Our no.10 was on target twice in a number of days, notching in back-to-back games against Leeds on Wednesday and Sunday, and has been in scintillating form this season. Unsurprisingly, much of the post-match chatter following our 2-0 win at Elland Road was to do with the red-hot forward.

“He is definitely one of them,” Ten Hag replied when asked if Marcus was among the best forwards in Europe during his post-match press conference.

“I was convinced [by him] from the first moment. I was really excited to work with him. I thought I could get more out of him. “He has so many skills, such high potential, and I think that can be even more. When he works well, he will score even more goals because he can score with his right, his left, and with his head.”

Despite playing on the left and down the centre, Rashford has still registered over 20 goals in all competitions this season so far. In his post-Leeds press conference, Ten Hag referenced a question he was asked during his first few months at the club. “You [the media] asked me: ‘do you have a player in your squad that can score 20 goals?’ in August/September, and I confirmed, I think he [Rashford] can do it,”

“If you are satisfied with it [scoring goals], it will stop, because you have to keep investing every day, keep the focus in every game and bring the energy and the belief, then you will score. “I don’t know where it will stop, but he has to go from game to game and during the week, do the right things.”
