Marcus Rashford contract decision is evidence of Erik ten Hag authority at Manchester United

Marcus Rashford has enjoyed a turnaround of form under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

He looked to have sunk back into his last-season-self in the two losses to Brighton and Brentford after a solid summer that had seen him net three times in pre-season. However, important goals against Liverpool and Arsenal have sparked a revival that has put Rashford ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the centre-forward pecking order.

As a result, the United star seems on the brink of another England call-up after failing to get back into the Three Lions squad since the Euro 2020 final. Ten Hag could have easily dropped the 24-year-old after his poor start to the campaign but his trust in Rashford is paying dividends.
