Having been Man United's top goalscorer last season, Marcus Rashford has been disappointing but Erik ten Hag might finally be rewarded for backing his forward.
Marcus Rashford put an end to his goal drought on Tuesday night with an excellent effort in England's 3-1 win over Italy.
The 25-year-old has struggled so far this season, failing to score in nine consecutive appearances for club and country before Tuesday. That run coincided with a dismal streak for United, who lost four matches from six, and pressure had been growing on Erik ten Hag to drop last season's top goalscorer.
"Everyone at Manchester United backs him. The team supports and believes in him. I'm sure with that confidence of the team behind him this will change, it will pass. While Tuesday's strike was not in a United shirt, Ten Hag will be encouraged to see Rashford looking sharp and scoring. It was a goal seen many times last season but one that has disappeared from the forward's arsenal thus far.
