Manchester United told 'essential' target that Marcus Rashford must hit under Erik ten Hag

Manchester United have been told that Erik ten Hag will be able to give one player a 'fresh start' at Old Trafford. Ten Hag has been taking training at Carrington for just less than two weeks and has begun his summer rebuild.

On Tuesday, Tyrell Malacia became his first signing while Christian Eriksen verbally agreed on Monday to join United. His new approach following last season's stewardship from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and latterly Ralf Rangnick, is likely to benefit one forward at Old Trafford in particular.

According to ex-Red Luke Chadwick, Marcus Rashford could be due a career renaissance under Ten Hag. Chadwick explained to Caught Offside : "I think it was really important for Marcus Rashford that a new manager came in.

"He didn’t have the best season last season, he didn’t play too much under Ralf Rangnick, so I think he’ll be glad Rangnick didn’t stay on. This could be a fresh start for him, so it’s really essential that he gets a good pre-season and hits the ground running going into the new season.

"Let’s hope we can see that fantastic form from him again, that we all know he’s capable of."

Rashford has already predicted a 'positive change' at United in the close season following the arrival of the Dutchman. In the last campaign, the 24-year-old scored just five goals in 30 appearances.
