LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)-Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United manager, has reportedly cautioned Marcus Rashford that he will only match his 30-goal season total if he adopts the proper mindset.
The Dutchman is certain that Rashford will be able to match his incredible 30-goal season from the previous one.
The striker, who just signed a lucrative, long-term contract with United, has been cautioned by him to apply himself properly.
“When his attitude is right then he will do that; it’s not easy and the team has to play well to put him in the right position,” Ten Hag told reporters during United’s tour of the United States.
“When the team is playing well, so when we keep the rules and principles in our way of play and Rashford’s attitude is right and he puts himself in the right position, he will finish because has great abilities.”

Rashford became the first United striker since Robin van Persie in 2012-13 to score 30 goals in a season when he struck 30 times in all competitions.
However, only half of those goals came in the Premier League. Ten Hag went on to praise Rashford’s abilities as a striker, adding: “When he is in the box, he’s clinical, he’s ruthless, and he scores goals, with his right foot, with left foot and with his head.”
On Wednesday, the striker will compete against Real Madrid in Texas.
