Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag makes admission about Marcus Rashford position

Erik ten Hag is open to moving Marcus Rashford up front after he scored his second goal in as many games as a striker for Manchester United.

Ten Hag surprisingly started Rashford in his weakest position on the right wing against Leeds but switched him to the opposite flank at the start of the second half with United 1-0 down.

Leeds went 2-0 up through a Raphael Varane own goal in the 48th minute and United striker Wout Weghorst was substituted in the 59th minute for Jadon Sancho. Sancho lined up on the left and Rashford moved inside, where he scored his 20th goal of the season three minutes later from Diogo Dalot's cross.
