Marcus Rashford has revealed that Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag always backs him to deliver for the team as the England ace continues to enjoy a spectacular goalscoring run.

Rashford has been in scintillating form in recent months, having bagged 16 goals in his last 18 games. He is currently United's highest scorer this term with 24 goals in all competitions.

The 25-year-old endured a difficult campaign last term - scoring just five goals across the entire season - but he has been rejuvenated under Ten Hag since the Dutchman's arrival at the club in the summer.

The academy graduate has since spoken glowingly about the impact Ten Hag has had at Old Trafford, as well as explaining what they sometimes discuss before matches. "When it comes to gameday, if he has two minutes to say something to you, it's going to be about the goals and being a constant threat," Rashford told Sky Sports. "He always just says to me, 'You've got 95 minutes, all you need is one chance and you have to take that one chance'. "It's nice to have a manager that is so focused on every detail, he wants to push himself to be the very best, which ultimately pushes the players and the team to be the best we can be.
