Erik ten Hag makes a bold claim about Marcus Rashford
Erik ten Hag believes that Kylian Mbappe is the only player in the world better than Marcus Rashford. Speaking to the media, he said: “From the very first moment, I recognized the enormous potential. And now, to bring out the potential, I think when Marcus’s positioning is behind the defense line, there’s almost no better player in the world. There is Mbappé at the moment, a guy like him. But when he (Rashford) is in that position, he’s great and you see he’s really improved out of possession as well.”
Marcus Rashford has played in 14 Premier League games this season, registering four goals and two assists in the process. He has been linked with a move away from Manchester United as he is in the final year of his contract at Old Trafford.
