MANCHESTER UNITED'S MANAGER ERIK TEN HAG has backed Marcus Rashford to keep up his red-hot scoring form after another brace against Charlton in the EFL cup on Tuesday.
The English forward has been in electric form this season and looks like a player transformed under United's new boss Ten Hag.
Coming off the bench he scored two late goals to bring his tally to 15 goals and 6 assists in 25 appearances.
Ten Hag has constantly backed Rashford to excel in front of goal in press conferences and echoed the sentiment once once more after the game on Tuesday,
"I have told you many times, when he brings himself into position, when the teams puts him in the positions, in the one-on-ones in the box he will score and that is what he is doing at this moment," the United boss said.
"So if he keeps the focus and keeps putting the effort in he will keep on scoring.
That pass from Casemiro, that control from Pellistri, that pass to Rashford, that control and finish from Rashford. Ladies and gentlemen, that's Ten Hag’s ball. pic.twitter.com/Xq5cLtnLv5

"What you see now with Rashy, that is quite obvious, it wasn’t at the start of the season but now he is in the right moment."
"The first half-hour I was quite happy, I was less happy with being clinical in front of goal, we need to be more effective there because we created good chances in the first half-hour," he said.
"We should have scored more in the first half and also second half there was a good save and a few moments where we needed an extra pass but we didn’t so until the end we had to fight for it.
"I don’t think they created really good open chances but still you never know. We are progressing after the winter break, this is the third time we have won 3-0 which is good but we have to be more clinical.
"But we have scoring players in our team."
