MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said he always believed Marcus Rashford would find his scoring boots after the England forward took his tally to 30 goals for club and country this season.
Rashford's winner in Thursday's Europa League last-16 second leg victory over Real Betis was his 27th for United this season while the 25-year-old also scored three times for England at the World Cup in Qatar.
"I said it in the summer, I was asked if I believe in Rashford or Martial, one of them could score 20-plus goals and I said: 'Yes, I believe,'" Ten Hag told reporters ahead of Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final at home to Fulham. "That is bringing in a lot of progress and gives the team a lot of joy and gives him a lot of goals and us a lot of wins ... I knew his skills. You also bring staff around who can make him better and make him progress and he can get motivated from."
They will be without close-season signing Casemiro, however, after the Brazilian received the second red card of his United career last weekend.
