Erik ten Hag says he will speak to Marcus Rashford in private about his poor form after torrid display in defeat at Newcastle but backs him to 'recover'... as he admits Magpies were 'better and more proactive than us'

Erik ten hag will speak to Marcus Rashford about his form after the Manchester United star’s latest flop in the defeat at Newcastle on Saturday night.

Rashford was recalled to the line-up after missing the Champions League draw with Galatasaray in midweek through suspension, but made little impact before he was substituted just after the hour mark at St James’ Park.

Last season’s 30-goal top scorer has found the net just twice this term, and his lack of effort and negative body language were a concern once again.
