Manchester United star Marcus Rashford says Erik ten Hag is different to managers he’s worked under in the past because he’s solely focused on winning silverware.

The Dutchman enjoyed an impressive debut campaign at Old Trafford by returning United to the top four and ending their six-year trophy drought.

Ten Hag’s arrival has been instrumental in the turnaround of Rashford’s United career, with the forward hitting 30 goals last term.

Since making his debut in 2016, Rashford has played under five different managers.

Though he excelled at the start of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign, it wasn’t until Ten Hag’s appointment that Rashford has developed into the player that many hoped he would.

And Rashford says the Dutchman’s focus on winning trophies – not simply making the top four – separates him from the rest of the managers he’s worked with.

‘When Erik ten Hag came in, I didn’t hear him speak about getting into the top four once, he just wanted to win trophies and he’s got that mentality. It didn’t matter what competition we were playing in, he wanted to try and win everything,’ Rashford told the Overlap.

‘We gave it everything and let ourselves down in the Europa League, and in the Premier League there was a period where we weren’t defending as well and stopped scoring as many goals as we were – that’s something he’ll [Erik ten Hag] want to address.

‘We’d always bounce back from disappointing results, there is no lower point than when you go to rival teams and concede four, five, six goals, you have to find the positives, and in the games after, we always had a good performance and won.’
