Rashford is not happy — Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has admitted Marcus Rashford is not happy about his current struggles.

Rashford committed his long-term future to Manchester United over the summer after finishing the season with 30 goals in all competitions, a personal best.

This season has been a different story entirely as the England international has only managed 1 goal in 15 appearances and looks desperately short of confidence.

Rashford was then sent off in United's Champions League defeat to Copenhagen, a new low in a season of lows.

Erik ten Hag throws support behind struggling Rashford

"I think he is not happy," Ten Hag told a news conference on Friday. 

"We are not happy. He has high expectations for himself and in this moment he is not in his best form.

 "I know he will be back and when the team is playing better, he will play better and score goals. I am confident in that. He will improve and score goals this season.

 He is totally aware of everything, so he will be back on track."
