Ten Hag reveals his position on Rashford’s contract renewal

Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag has revealed that he is confident Marcus Rashford will agree to renew his contract.

Rashford is enjoying the best season of his career after scoring 29 goals in all competitions with United, including 16 in the Premier League.

However, the 25-year-old United academy graduate has yet to sign a new contract although Ten Hag said he knew why negotiations had been delayed, but refused to reveal any details.

Ten Hag told reporters: “Yes, I know (why), but I’m not going to talk about the operation. Let the operation go. Again, it’s not important at the moment for me or for Rashi.”

He added, “What matters to him is scoring more goals this season. He’s having a great season and the team as well. We have to ensure qualification for the Champions League and focus on that,” adding: “Marcus wants to stay and we want him to stay, so I think we’ll find each other.”

United ranks fourth in the league with 66 points and has a postponed match compared to Liverpool, which is one point behind in the Golden Square struggle.
