According to Erik ten Hag, his Manchester United team does not have a lack of respect for him, even though Marcus Rashford missed training on Friday due to reportedly partying in Belfast until the early hours of the morning.
Ten Hag benched the attacker during the FA Cup victory against Newport County on Sunday and punished him. This came after Rashford was spotted at Chinawhite, a club in Manchester, on the night of the 3-0 defeat against Manchester City in October, which the manager deemed as “unacceptable”. In September, Ten Hag was accused of lying by Jadon Sancho for stating that the forward was not included in the loss against Arsenal due to poor training.
After experiencing these events, Ten Hag was questioned about whether his team showed disrespect towards him. He responded, “That is not the issue. Let us concentrate on the match and continue forward. Our main priority is winning matches.”
Ten Hag was questioned about his approach to maintaining discipline within his team. He emphasized the importance of discipline both on and off the field, stating that every player and professional is aware of the standards and expectations.
Ten Hag has confidence in Rashford’s ability to replicate his performance from last season, where he scored a total of 30 goals. In the last two Premier League games, Rashford has already scored two goals and provided an assist. There appears to be a growing and solid connection between Rashford and Højlund, and we aim to maintain and improve upon that partnership.
