What Ten Hag said about Rashford after the dramatic 4-3 win against wolves
After Manchester United’s thrilling 4-3 victory against Wolves, manager Erik ten Hag took a moment to reflect on the performance of Marcus Rashford and the team as a whole.
In a match filled with drama and excitement, United dominated the first half, with Rashford making an immediate impact by scoring a stunning curling effort within five minutes.
Rasmus Hojlund extended United’s lead later in the half, putting them in a comfortable position.
However, the Wolves mounted a comeback in the second half, pulling the score back to 3-3 with goals from Max Kilman and Pedro Neto.
Despite this, United clinched the win in injury time, thanks to a brilliant individual goal from 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo.
Reflecting on Rashford’s goal, ten Hag praised it as a “fantastic collective goal” and highlighted Rashford’s recent form, with three goals and two assists in the last few games.
“It was a fantastic collective goal with a lot of players involved. He has scored three goals and provided two assists in the last three or four games.“
Speaking about the team’s performance, ten Hag emphasized the unity and determination within the squad, stating, “There is a very good state of mind in this group, in this dressing room. We are all united. You can see the determination and resilience of this group. They are eager to get results and to play hard. Good football.“
However, ten Hag also acknowledged the need to address defensive lapses, stating, “If you are dominating the game and leading 2-0 and 3-1, you can’t allow the opponents to get back. That is naive; it’s no good, and we have to work on it.“
Despite the challenges, ten Hag emphasized the significance of the win for the team, noting both the positives and negatives of the performance.
As United prepares for their upcoming match against West Ham, ten Hag remains optimistic about the team’s prospects, acknowledging the need to build on their strengths and address areas for improvement.
