Marcus Rashford Ends Goal Drought in Win Over Southampton

Marcus Rashford has received a strong defense from Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who has criticized the “too much negativity” directed at the striker and is confident in his imminent scoring resurgence. Rashford netted his first goal since March during Manchester United’s 3-0 victory over Southampton at St Mary’s, marking his return to the scoresheet after a dry spell that saw him under scrutiny.

Rashford, 26, had struggled to find the net and faced criticism for his performance in a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool just before the international break. However, Ten Hag described the criticism as unjust and emphasized Rashford’s contributions, noting that he created two key chances in that match and has otherwise performed well this season.

Ten Hag highlighted Rashford’s significant contributions to Manchester United, emphasizing his role as a vital player for nearly a decade. Over that time, Marcus Rashford has scored 132 goals for the club. The manager expressed confidence that Rashford will continue to excel and score more goals for the club.

He used an analogy once made famous by Cristiano Ronaldo, comparing Rashford’s scoring potential to a ketchup bottle. He explained that once the goals begin to flow, they will continue to come in abundance. Rashford’s goal against Southampton was a product of hard work and persistence, according to Ten Hag.

The manager believes that Rashford’s talent and dedication will lead to a successful scoring streak and help him regain his form. With a solid track record and a promising future, Ten Hag remains optimistic about Rashford’s ability to contribute significantly to Manchester United’s success.
