Referring to what he wants up front, Ten Hag explained: “What we need besides Marcus Rashford is one extra player with scoring abilities whether it’s coming out of our own squad or we have to sign one.”

As for Rashford’s incredible transformation, Ten Hag added: “What I have done? He’s a good football player, incredibly good and his finishing attributes are high.

“So, first of all, I make a culture where he can perform. Then I get him motivated and then construct a way of play where he can do it.

“And fitness, as well, don’t forget that part. When those four aspects are there Marcus Rashford will score.

“He can play as a centre forward, can play from the left, can play from the right. When you see his stats, he is scoring everywhere but he feels more comfortable as a centre forward or from the left.”
