Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag piled praise on Marcus Rashford after the in-form forward extended his scoring run to six straight games with a double in Tuesday’s 3-0 EFL Cup win over Charlton Athletic.
Rashford made it seven goals in his past six games for United with two strikes late in the victory which booked their spot in the last four.
The England forward has also netted 10 goals in his past 12 games for United, marking a major run of excellent form.
“I have said many times, when he brings himself in the position, when the team brings him in the position, one-on-ones, he will score,” ten Hag told reporters.
“And that is what he is doing in this moment. So, if he keeps the focus and putting the same effort in, he will keep continuing scoring.”
There was an injury worry for United with Diogo Dalot forced off in the 34th minute, that comes after Donny van de Beek’s knee concern against Bournemouth last week.“Diogo Dalot went off before half-time. We have to wait,” the Dutchman said.
“I think it is not serious but it was a precaution to get him off and not take a risk when we have, on Saturday, an important game (against Manchester City at Old Trafford).
“We have to see how it develops in the coming hours and then we have to make a clear decision.
“And Donny van de Beek, we are still doing some final investigations and when we have that, we will update you.”
