“So last year he had a brilliant season. I think the best season in his career, he scored 30 goals, so there you see where he’s capable of.“This season he didn’t give the performances and then people are very critical, and I think we have to back him.Ten Hag reiterated his belief in Rashford and hopes he can get back to the “really brilliant” level that saw him produce the best goal return of his career in 2022-23.
