Erik ten Hag lifts lid on what he wants to see from Marcus Rashford after private chat

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has revealed that he told Marcus Rashford that he wanted to see the striker "smiling more" after he arrived at the club in the summer.

Rashford had become a peripheral figure at Old Trafford prior to Ten Hag's arrival following a lacklustre Premier League campaign last year. The 24-year-old, who missed the start of the season due to shoulder surgery, netted just five goals in all competitions last season.
