Wayne Rooney sends message to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag over Marcus Rashford form

Marcus Rashford's return to form is down to how he has been managed by Erik ten Hag.

That's according to Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, who believes Rashford has found his confidence again and should remain in the starting XI for England's last 16 tie with Senegal on Sunday evening. After nearly two years of struggles in front of goal, the striker has finally found his shooting boots again this season.

Rashford is United's top scorer so far with eight strikes, twice as many as his closest competitor, and has continued that fine form for the Three Lions in Qatar. The 25-year-old is joint top of the scoring charts in the tournament with three goals and it was his excellent brace against Wales that saw Gareth Southgate's side secure top spot in their group.
