Erik ten Hag snaps back at reporter over Marcus Rashford - but gets his facts wrong

Erik ten Hag insisted Marcus Rashford is "scoring from everywhere" after a reporter suggested he struggles playing on the right flank.

Rashford, 25, scored his 20th club goal of the season on Wednesday to help Manchester United recover from two goals down in the 2-2 home draw against Leeds. The Englishman needs just three more goals to confirm his most prolific season for the Red Devils.

Many critics believe that Rashford's best position is on the left flank, where he can cut inside on to his stronger right foot and shoot. Yet Ten Hag disagrees with that notion - claiming the 51-cap international is capable of playing anywhere along the front three.
